Why does my phone keep saying that firefox is using my camera when I quit the app and clear the cache?

I have the firefox app set up to clear information when I "quit" the app. And when I do, my phone notifies me that the firefox app has used my camera. Why is it trying to access my camera when I close the app?

Hi

I have contacted one of our developers who has explained that this is probably due to an advert on the page that you are viewing in Firefox for Android querying the media devices (such as the camera) that are installed on the device.

You should be presented with a choice of wherther you would like to allow this, and can change this in the Android settings at a later date if you wish.
