To try it, goto [https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html getUserMedia tests]. [https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/file/d/0B1KBl68pRmhsdElXN3NwRk1HdEk/edit Simple documentation on how to try it.]
 
To safeguard the security of our users, by default Mozilla blocks unknown websites/apps from using Screensharing, such that the user is not prompted. Firefox has implemented a domain whitelist that allows approved applications to ask the user to allow screen/window captures.
 
Though we believe that Screen Sharing will become an integral part of applications and the web experience, today the authorization prompts and user education vital to maintain security are not sufficient and understandable to end-users, which is why we implemented a whitelist until we have a better solution.
 
We are testing designs for interface options that will allow users to make an informed choice on whether to allow screensharing with a particular application/site, but there is the ever-present challenge of doing this in a way that both clearly informs users of the risk and doesn’t create an overly-burdensome user experience.
