Can't verify nor double check what is happening as the device is very specific.

Hello, l'm using Xiaomi Mi9t. Front camera is inside the phone and with servo motor pops out when I need to make photos.

The issue is that front camera is activated for short period of time when I visit Kaufland.ro.

This is very creepy.

No site has any permissions to camera, location, etc.

Camera is not activated at site refresh. But almost always after Firefox is closed, opened and Kaufland.ro entered and visited from address bar.

I'm experienced web developer, but I jus started today to use mobile Firefox.

Data collection: Off (both checkboxes)
Android camera permission: On

If Android camera permission is Off for app, then camera is not activated and the permission is not asked.

There are youtube videos showing the issue in the github issue.
