> Firefox will not prompt for access to your microphone or camera if you’ve already granted access to the same device on the same site in the same tab within the past 50 seconds. This new grace period reduces the number of times you’re prompted to grant device access.

This is a super nice little QoL improvement, but I'd love to be able to configure this to be even longer (optimally by domain, but I'd love a global setting too).



According to the commit [0], you may be able to configure the period using the 'privacy.webrtc.deviceGracePeriodTimeoutMs' option in about:config

Is there a substantial gap here between this new thing, your suggestion, and "remember this choice"? Trying to imagine the use case.


True, there's not a huge difference. I just tend to prefer to reaffirm my permissions on occasion than permanently allow them. Similar to how I appreciate that most website occasionally require you to re-login.
