1981583 - Unused preview area in microphone-only permission prompts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1979394

(Firefox :: Site Permissions, defect)

Bug 799415 added a nice camera preview area to Firefox's getUserMedia() prompt. This makes sense when a website is asking permission to use the user's camera, or to use both their camera and microphone in a combined prompt.

However, this new preview also appears when a website only asks permission to the user's microphone. This seems like a waste of space and makes the prompt twice as tall as it needs to be for no benefit (see screenshot).

This represents a regression in UI behavior for the microphone-only use case. Can we remove the preview area in this case?

Agreed, this should be removed. I’m landing a fix in Bug 1979394.
