I don't think this should be allowed by default, but do think it could
be part of a googletalk profile or flash profile. User's who require
this for now should add the access to
/etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.firefox. A future update may provide an
easier method to enable this, or even a commented out entry.

Title:
  apparmor profile for Firefox should allow /dev/video0 access

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hello,

  With Firefox 6.0.2 apparmor profile enabled on Natty, Flash and Google
  Talk can't access the webcam. If I put Firefox in complain mode, it
  works but I get this kind of message:

  [ 1856.852807] type=1400 audit(1317154329.250:137): apparmor="DENIED"
  operation="open" parent=4390
  profile="/usr/lib/firefox-6.0.2/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}"
  name="/dev/video0" pid=4447 comm="npviewer.bin" requested_mask="rw"
  denied_mask="rw" fsuid=1026 ouid=0

  Best regards

  Guillaume
