Note that for [specific reasons](https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/19#issuecomment-365152565) Firefox does not support `query()` for `"camera"` or `"microphone"`. In short, `query` exposes details of non-standard permission models, which we fear can lead web developers to code towards the dominant permission model (Chrome's), causing headaches for others. If we were to implement it—which we're still discussing—we'd likely need to lie and return `"granted"` instead of `"prompt"` on all but the very first call (even though there will be a prompt), to mimic Chrome and avoid web developers inadvertently priming Firefox users every time, a veritable slow-lane. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
