Bug 799415 is adding video preview to the camera permission dialog. We've decided to disable the preview by default so sites can't enable the users camera which is potentially scary. However this also adds friction as an additional click is needed to see the camera preview every time. We should consider remembering the "enabled" state and automatically showing the camera preview. We could remember this setting per site, e.g. by storing a flag in the content pref service.

We're now automatically starting the preview if the prompt was opened as the result of a user gesture. This seems good enough, I'll close this bug.
