Mozilla says they're respectful of my privacy, so why do you want to use my phone's camera and audio FOR ANY REASON? I want to get away from Google because it's invasive...but the "permissions" that Firefox wants are just as bad. Is there a way to install without this unreasonable demand?

Hi,

Please read how we use permissions below

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-android-use-permissions-it-requests

We only request camera and microphone when you selectively opt-into providing camera and microphone for sites that make use of WebRTC (see http://www.webrtc.org/). We provide an in browser drop-down dialog where you can select your camera and microphone. This is only on supports which support such a feature (which is part of the HTML5 Draft Specifications) e.g, https://apprtc.appspot.com

Hope that clears that up.
