Firefox has this behavior as well. Turning on camera/mic from a background tab is creepy.

This might even be something that could go in the [permissions](https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#request-permission-to-use) spec.

Having prompts appear from background tabs is generally a UX security issue.

*enumerateDevices()* does not require permission, so I'd treat that as a separate issue I think.
