Tried looking for answers in reddit, firefox, mint, and ubuntu FAQ, but I still couldn't find any answer. (You will have understood that my OS is linux, mint. I switched recently).

My problem is that I couldn't call with my friends on mozilla: facebook shows "browser doesn't support videocalls". I have the same problem with whatsapp and other videocall platforms. The tab doesn't even ask for me to allow access to camera and microphone, nothing.

I first checked in the parameters of mozilla, and nothing seems to block camera and mic access (I checked every parameter one by one (even permissions and privacy). I can't even access the permissions of the website that are usually accessible in the left side of the searchbar.

I tried to check if the webcam was working at all with cheese, and yes it does work.

After using webcam webcamtests.com, I found out that my webcam could work, but only after allowing access to webcam identifers

It looks like your browser is blocking access to webcam identifiers. Because of this, it’s impossible to detect and manage all available webcams.

Thank you for your help, I'm spending a lot of time on this to no avail...

More info:

• Hardware: Lenovo T440p; Browser: Firefox: (will update that tomorrow); OS: Mint, 22.3

I tried so many different scripts, and I'm getting disappointed every time. Let alone the larger projects, I can't even get these small scripts to work...

Problem 1: I want to pause the video in VLC after 5 seconds:

HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon" 
^SPACE:: 
Sleep 5000 
Send "SPACE"

getting this error message: "HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon", this line does not contain a recognise action.

Problem 2: this hotkey stays activated even when I am not using the specified apps

HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1"
HotIfWinActive "ahk_class Qt691QWindowIcon"

XButton1::Backspace 

Thank you in advance for you help, I am out of my wits.
