Mark, is this the best place for this bug, or are bugs with the "manage account" functionality tracked on github?

Looks like the web app doesn't react to the permission being denied - according to MDN, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia , there should be a NotAllowedError that you can key off.

+Shane for further triage from FxA perspective.

I think we've decided on "Cloud Services :: Server: Firefox Accounts" for bugs in the web UI. (But we watch all the components, so anywhere Sync- or FxA-related is fine, really).

There is now an error and the button is unclickable.
