> WebExtensions have various permissions associated (though not controllable by the user -- merely declared and accepted or not I think this is a major flaw in how permissions are implemented in Firefox (and Flatpak and other pieces of modern technology). Software commonly "declares" what permissions it wants, but the user doesn't have to opt-in to grant these permission. They're granted by default, and there's usually no way to deny it. I think iOS has a good approach here, where an application asks for camera permission and there's two buttons: Grant or Deny. The prompt also comes when camera access is actually required, not at software installation time.
