Firefox Android requires permissions that are not prompted for

Open Recodify opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug Firefox on android requires 'Storage' and 'Camera' permissions to show the scan preview, storage is not prompted for. Chrome only requires Camera, which is prompted for.

Android 10. Firefox 82.1.3

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Open the demo site in firefox on android, security error is shown until all of the above permissions are given via android, user is not prompted.

Expected behavior User should be prompted for these permissions, if they are actually required or the required permissions should be tailored to just the ones that are need. I don't think these permissions should actually be required though as if I use a pure html5 camera version such as: https://makitweb.com/demo/webcam/ then storage permissions are not required.

Why does Firefox requires storage permission?
