There is media.peerconnection.enabled in about:config. When set to false, WebRTC doesn't work but I'm not sure if there isn't anything left active.

Also uBlock has an option "Prevent WebRTC from leaking IP adresses".

WebRTC should be disabled by default or firefox should ask explicitly like with webcam-access.

There have already been reports where sites use your browser as a peer in a P2P-network (without your consent). This can be really problematic depending on where you live.
