(Whiteboard: [getUserMedia][blocking-gum-])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 Build ID: 20130409194949 Steps to reproduce: Two getUserMedia camera capturing from two iframes side by side didnt work. Only one of them picks up the camera. I was only offered one dialog to select a camera. Chrome browser asks two times and correctly displays the camera imagery in both iframes even if I pick the same camera for both. Actual results: Two getUserMedia camera capturing from two iframes side by side didnt work. Only one of them picks up the camera. I was only offered one dialog to select a camera. Expected results: Browser should ask camera selection for both iframes does not matter which one first. The both iframes having getUserMedia on should be able to pick the camera even if they are allowed for the same one.

This test works fine <html> <body> <iframe width="50%" src="gum_test.html"></iframe> <iframe width="50%" src="gum_test.html"></iframe> </body> </html> (gum_test.html is from the webrtc-landing page) If you click each Video button,you get a requester and can answer it. If I modify gum_test.html to start video on load (add a startVideo() at the bottom of the script), only one frame (normally the second) pops a requester and gets video. I suspect strongly this is a dup of bug 861716 (though that refers to within the same frame). It does point out that if the requests are from different iframes, they should not be merged.

Setting media.navigator.permission.disabled to true is a workaround: the bug disappears.
(In reply to Dan Mosedale (:dmose) from comment #2) > Setting media.navigator.permission.disabled to true is a workaround: the bug > disappears. All the permission requesters are bypassed, so it's not really a workaround - it says "sure, have a camera, what to I care!"
