Description: Every time I try to make or receive a call it asks for permission to use the microphone in GMAIL Hangouts
Steps to Reproduce:
Every time I try to make or receive a call it asks for permission to use microphone in Gmail Hangouts https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox . I have it set to "Allow". https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox When a call comes in or I try to make one it does not have the check mark box "Remember this decision" on the little pop up window as I have seen before. I can set it to always allow by right clicking the chat window and page info, yet it keeps on asking for permission to use. -- It DOES show as being allowed both in the list in Options and when you check the page Info.
I thought maybe it has something to do with Flash ending, but when I use Hangouts on the Hangouts page: https://hangouts.google.com/ it works fine (and the Remember option shows). And yes, I have removed all cookies and cache several times. Another thing I noticed is that you can't add any pages manually in the options. Not sure if that is related. Note that I use Firefox and Windows 7 .
A user in the Community Support suggested that I file this bug report. He also said that it has something to do with frames, as using the Hangouts Chat goes to the other URL https://hangouts.google.com/ as indicated on my screenshots. He also suggested:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste microp and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the permissions.default.microphone preference to display a dialog where you can enter the desired value, make the edit, then click OK:
0 = Prompt for permission, unless there's an exception
1 = Allow automatically (try this temporarily)
2 = Block permission requests
Which did not help. Note that this issue just started about 2 months ago most likely with an update. It did not do this for years.
I have several additional screenshots in the Community Support Forums: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1269309
Thank you!
