Can I stop the Firefox webRTC Sharing Indicator showing up?

Question

Using SwayWM (an i3 clone for Wayland), I get a frustrating tab that appears every time Firefox wants to access my webcam or microphone. Can I disable it?

You can kill it so quickly the user experience is the same! Add the following to your ~/.config/sway/config:

for_window [app_id="firefox" title="Firefox — Sharing Indicator"] {
  kill
}

Thanks! On my system the title is `Firefox — Sharing Indicator` (the dash is different). – Alec Mev Nov 18 '20 at 09:19
Yep I think it changed, going to update my answer :) – achalk Dec 05 '20 at 19:37

You can set privacy.webrtc.legacyGlobalIndicator to false in about:config. I run Hyprland and couldn't fix it in any other way.
