Details
We can't do window/screen preview at permission popup dialog so we may place some info there to clarify it. This is a follow up from Bug 1675764.

I'd keep in mind that (at least on Linux desktop), the desktop environment itself will show the user a window/output picker.
So it's possible that the actual flow may need to be reconsidered. E.g.: since my desktop picker lets me bail out, does Firefox's extra prompt before that really make sense?

I was actually looking into at least making the selection step redundant, as we always only have one element. I think it makes sense to still have the basic firefox allow/deny popup.

1728749 Seems to make enough sense.
Thanks for addressing all these details, I'm really liking this polish when it comes to screen sharing / pipewire and sandboxing.

Key bug is Bug 1678269 here. If we can propagate info from portal of disabled sharing we can remove Firefox dialog and use system one only. When sharing is disabled via. system portal we can print the corresponding icon on URL bar.

Martin, do you still plan to change something about the indicator after bug 1728749 or can we close this?

I think we can close it, you bring good arguments why it should stay (to identify / allow sharing from exact web browser tab).
