Describe the issue

Since Firefox 39, it may be possible for Javascript to fingerprint hardware media devices (microphones, cameras, etc...) through the MediaDevices API - in particular MediaDevices.enumerateDevices()

This can be disabled by setting the user preference media.navigator.enabled = false (source: search for the preference on this page

Since uBlock Origin has a privacy section in its settings, I wondered whether you would be interested in adding this option.
