1831750 - Firefox for Android should not ask for file access and camera and microphone permissions before choosing a file to upload on a page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1864350

(Firefox for Android :: General, defect)

Description

[importu]

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox for Android should not ask for file access and camera and microphone permissions before choosing a file to upload to a page.
Its not a good look when a privacy-respecting browser asks for such intrusive permissions while the non-privacy-respecting ones don't.

Hi importu, thanks for reporting this bug! Can you provide us with a specific website where you encountered this issue? I just tried a PDF converter but it didn't ask for camera and microphone permissions as you suggested. However, I did try changing my google profile picture and that asked me for camera permissions as it wanted to take a picture, which makes sense.
