Is there any place in the UI to improve this via messaging? For example,
https://site.com/ => "Would you like to share your camera with
site.com?", but http://site.com/ => "Would you like to permanently share
your camera with any site claiming to be site.com? *Note: Firefox cannot
verify this claim for an http:// URL."
Or something. I'm diverging a little from the question of persistence,
though partly because I was surprised that the permissions dialog in
Nightly doesn't distinguish between a session vs permanent persistence.
Shouldn't there be "For this session only" and "Always" options? (This
isn't purely academic for me. A relative of mine got completely freaked
out by a scam demanding IRS back taxes or something, and she
specifically believed it because the demand page included a snapshot of
her taken with her laptop camera. Her camera is now taped over. Getting
this stuff right matters.)
I also notice that when I grant a site permission to access my camera,
it doesn't show up in Page Info :: Permissions. Geolocation is there.
And I see a camera icon in the address bar.
