How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

Qubes release 4.2.3 (R4.2)

Brief summary

The webcam provided by qubes-video-companion is correctly seen with chromium-browser and cheese in an AppVM with fedora 41 as template. The webcam is not seen by firefox 133.0 in that AppVM, not present in the devices list (it was with firefox 132.0.1 and template fedora 39).

Steps to reproduce

In AppVM based on template fedora 41, install qubes-video-companion, start it, and try to use the webcam with cheese (it works), and firefox (it does not work).

Expected behavior

The camera is recognized and usable.

Actual behavior

The camera is absent from the available devices.

I have the same problem on Fedora 41.
It seems to work with the original Firefox tarball, so I would guess the problem is with the Fedora packaged version.
