First firefox ask for permission to my contacts list but I had to send a photo so I said yes to my gallery. How and where do they hVe access to all my photos. How can I eliminate my permission and does that mean firefox can keep my photos or how can I get firefox to eliminate on their system without losing my gallery of photos on my cell android phone. I'm scared please help. I can't even find there phone number

Hi

This is being caused by the website that you are viewing requesting access to your camera or microphone. We could keep this request hidden, but we think it would be better for you to make an informed choice.

We are working on ways to reduce the frequency of these messages and this will hopefully be in a future update. In the meantime, you can adjust this in the Android application settings.

Google has a help article on how to revoke permissions you have granted to apps:

Also, Mozilla, the maker of Firefox, doesn't have any of your photos unless you uploaded a photo to a Mozilla site (like this support site).
