[Bug 1665535] [NEW] WebRTC webcam support broken in firefox due to apparmor

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In order to use sites that make use of WebRTC's webcam support, firefox
needs access to the /dev/videoN device. When I applied the latest
firefox update over the last week, apparmor was set to enforcing mode,
which broke sites that use WebRTC, like https://talky.io.
