If you treat "permission" and "access" as synonyms, does that clarify anything? You'll note that folks talk about "temporary permission" and "persistent permission" when they want to distinguish the two, just like you might talk about "temporary access" vs "persistent access". > Firefox doesn't currently have an about:permissions page (it was removed), but when we did have it, "revoking persistent permission" in it (that is: changing from 'granted' to 'prompt' didn't stop any active tracks. Why should it? I don't see how that follows user intent. That seems wrong: If I decide that foo.com shouldn't have access to my camera, and I revoke it from some global menu, I certainly don't want it to keep recording me from that tab I still have open. Any specs in this area should, of course, allow Firefox to implement such bad UI, but that doesn't mean we should change the terminology to pretend it's good. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jyasskin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/334#issuecomment-213083889 using your GitHub account
