Better to just disable it from the about:config menu in my opinion, no need for an extension.

To do this In Firefox:

1) Type 'about:config' in your address bar

2) Set 'media.peerconnection.enabled' value to 'false'. (The Default value is 'true')


This addon does as you suggest but with a simple click as opposed to having to go into about:config. Better if you think you might use webrtc from time to time.


I can actually see WebRTC becoming very useful... I actually miss the days where the likes of IRC, AOL and Yahoo group chats were more common... I wouldn't even know where to begin if I just wanted to chat with random people who are relatively local to me today.

Not just voice/video but text. That said, I'm not sure how useful the P2P aspects of text are, but being able to send files directly would be a nice ability.
