Hi, - Try to update Firefox to latest verison - Go to Device Manager -> Camera, make sure all your cameras are enabled and drivers are up to date - Go to Setting -> Privacy -> Camera, make sure all setting are turned on - Make sure you check the "Remember this decision" box and click "Allow" for all cameras when the website asks for permission to use camera - Press Ctrl+i -> Permission -> Scroll down to "Use the camera" -> uncheck "Use default" box -> select "Allow", after that close the dialog box and reload the page

Hope my solutions help you
