Just visited Newegg.com from Android. Suddenly Firefox is asking for access to camera and microphone! I of course said no... What's up with this?

Hi

Firefox for Android can use the camera on your device to access QR codes (those square barcode type things you see on some items and adverts).

if you do not wish it to do this, you can choose Deny or change the setting in the Android Settings application.
