Firefox not rotating camera when laptop is in tent mode

more options

Hi,

I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I have a Dell Inspiron 7591 2-in-1 laptop as a communication device to speak. Since my hands don't work, I have to use head switches in order to operate my device. I downloaded and installed the latest version Firefox (version 132.0.2 (64-bit)) via Microsoft Store on my laptop running Windows 10 Home. I have a Jabber/XMPP account to communicate with my family members and friends. In order to mount my laptop to my wheelchair, my laptop has to be in tent mode (upside down, but my screen automatically rotates to the proper orientation.) When I go to mov.im in the Firefox browser and video call someone, I appear upside-down on their end. I also visited https://webcamtests.com/ in Firefox and I appeared upside-down on my screen. However when I use other programs (eg: the camera app in Windows, Google Chrome, etc.), it recognizes my laptop is in tent mode so those programs automatically adjust my camera orientation. I would like my Firefox browser to recognize that my laptop is in tent mode and automatically rotate my camera to the proper orientation. Is this possible? If not, I would like to make this a feature request please?

Thank you

I don't know how to code, but I found an article where an integrated webcam can tell you if it's rotated with the laptop: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41674758/detect-camera-rotation-on-microsoft-surface
