hello MJBCon, unfortunately due to android's permission model permissions have to be accepted upfront and not for example the first time an app makes use of a certain one. the reason why permissions are requested by firefox on android is explained in [[How does Firefox for Android use the permissions it requests?]] access to hardware controls in particular is used for technologies like webrtc: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/09/17/webrtc-now-available-across-mobile-and-desktop-with-new-firefox-for-android-compatibility/ of course your camera/microphone will not turned on automatically, but there will be a dialog that asks you to choose if you want to do so each time a page is requesting that. for a demo how this is done please visit: https://apprtc.appspot.com
