@deleolajide my bad, forgot to add a :) to that sentece ;)

[deleolajide]

Yes. I only use chromium based browsers

[licaon-kter]

That's ok given your Pade extension, that's bad given this should work in any browser (that supports standards etc).

Chrome is the new IE. :(

Chrome is the new IE. :(

Notice I said Chromium and not Chrome. It is a double edged sword. I prefer to see that Chromium is the new Linux kernel everyone is working on except Apple and Mozilla.

Having said that, Firefox should support mediaDevices. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/mediaDevices

Many chrome extensions run with minimal changes in Firefox. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Porting_a_Google_Chrome_extension.

I don't see Pade being an exception. I just don't have any motivation to do it. That should be an exercise for someone else who uses Firefox enough to get it done easily.

I did, but that doesn't change much.

True, I'll try to find if this is a client setup issue on my side.

That should be an exercise for someone else who uses Firefox enough to get it done easily.

Hope someone can, if there are still devs that can code for non-Chrom* that is.

Please read the moz liink I posted on chrome extensions. Browser extensions is now a web standard with a browser.extension.xxx namespace and Mozilla have even gone out of their way to support the legacy chrome.extension.xxx namespace making t so easy to port a chrome extension to Firefox. There is nothing to re-code.
