Hi there So Firefox is not detecting my webcam. I use my cam on discord frequently and today discord did not detect my webcam even after I allowed the usage of my camera on Firefox. I use the web version of discord on Firefox. To check, I also tried my camera on webcamtests.com and the same problem occurred. My camera was not used by any other application at the moment. I made sure of that. To check, I opened the same sites on Chrome and it worked perfectly fine but not on Firefox. Pls help me out to resolve this issue at the earliest.

In the settings for Discord under Voice and Video, I hit test video and got the prompt for the camera. What do you get?

When I clicked on test video, the discord thing kept spinning on and on. I even tried re-starting my computer. I cleared the cache and cookies, still the same. The result on webcamtests.com showed that my camera was being used by some other app. But i had closed all the apps and even turned off all the apps running on the background. However, my camera works perfectly fine with chrome but not firefox. :(
