Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

I could not reproduce. However, I have found some other users discussing a similar issue on reddit, where they believed it to be caused by the app requesting camera access permissions.

Actual results:

While using Firefox, my motorized front-facing camera pops up out of my OnePlus 7 Pro. It only happens when using firefox. It doesn't seem to be caused by any page loads. I can read a single webpage and not refresh anything, and the camera will still slide out. It doesn't seem to be caused by any user action.

Expected results:

My camera should not be accessed when there is no reason for it. The camera should stay off until I need to take a picture.

From the reddit thread, I suspect that this bug is not just on my device (OnePlus 7 Pro) because Samsung users reported a similar bug. This bug is just easier to notice and far more annoying because of the motorized camera.

This bug is being investigated in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1578073
