I am working on a product that uses the camera access from the browser. I need to create a help page for users so that if there is an issue they can check the browser camera settings.
Chrome browser has a very nice page for enabling and disabling camera access permissions for a website.

Was wondering if there are similar pages for other browsers mainly Firefox or safari?

I have a Trusted Web Activity app that is displaying a Progressive Web Application by using the Android Browser Helper. The documentation and code indicates that the mobile app only runs properly when the Chrome Browser is 72 or above. The address bar is visible when the Chrome Browser is outdated. I believe I have the option of a Webview-fallback but I prefer not to use Webview as some of the app's functionality is incompatible with Webview.
While testing, when the Chrome Browser is updated on the same device, the trusted web activity runs without any issues.
What options do I have where the address bar isn't visible?
Is the min SDK the only way to set the minimum browser requirements or can I explicitly set a min Chrome Browser version in the Play Console for the app before the user downloads it? (which prompts the user to update the browser before installation)
Thanks in advance!
It's not possible to set a browser version requirement on the Play Console.
Besides falling back to a WebView, or showing the application with the URL bar, the other solution would to block the application from loading and ask the user to update / install a browser that supports Trusted Web Activity.
I'm trying to load http://m.zara.com from my desktop browser. I have tried with Chrome developer tools to change the user agent to mobile. I have also installed User-Agent Switcher plugin for Chrome without any success. For some reason it is always redirecting to the desktop version.
Why is this not working? How could I manage to do this?

Try to download user-agent extension in chrome browser and then you can use the online parsers available in this blog.
There by the simulation of browsers can happen for cross browser access.
So, I have an HTML page that includes a Silverlight xap file which plays a video. It works correctly while running locally and on our DEV environment when using Chrome or FF. The issue is when I am trying to view the video on our DEV environment using Internet Explorer. When doing so, it prompts me to Display Mixed Content. Whether I hit Yes or No, the browser crashes. I am able to go into my options and Enable Display Mixed Content, which fixes the issue and the video shows up correctly on the DEV environment using IE. But, this is not a good solution for a client facing site. Is there a way around this message to prevent it from crashing the browser?
A workaround for this is to use JavaScript to open the HTML page that contains the video in a new window. The user will still be prompted to Display Mixed Content, but it will not crash the browser and the video will play.
I'm making a small flash application for a website. It works perfectly apart from one small thing, I have implemented a way to bring up the flash settings menu to a user specified tab.
This works as expected in all cases apart from in Safari on Mac, the Local Storage and Privacy tabs are missing. This is a bit of a problem as the Privacy tab is the most important one in this system.
This only happens when the swf is hosted on a subdomain (for example the swf is hosted on bs5.somewebsite.com and then embedded on somewebsite.com) and I'd write it off as an Apple security quirk however to make matters a bit more frustrating some SWF files from other sources (which I do not have the source code for, JWPlayer for example) can access all tabs in the settings window even on Safari for Mac and even when hosted on the subdomain.
I'm authoring this in FlashDevelop.
This usually happens when you are trying to view your SWF through an iFrame. Safari has a "feature" which disables some functionality for sites loaded in iFrames to try and prevent 3rd parties from tracking you.
A simple test is to directly view the page in the iFrame and see if the Local Storage and Privacy tabs appear.
Assume one client wants to enable camera only and another client wants to enable microphone only.
How to set in Chrome / Firefox?
Firefox version >46.0 setting:
Right Click at the page you want > View Page Info > Permission (tab) > Use the Microphone -> Allow.
In Firefox, type about:permissions in the location/address bar to access the Permissions Manager, where you can set global as well as per-website permissions for several actions and devices including camera and microphone - See this support article.
I wouldn't know how to do so for Chrome.
