Luca, Shane, Andreas and I met, and we decided to require permissions for privileged features (and re-use `mozillaAddons` when a feature does not need its own dedicated permission). A benefit of enforcing this in Firefox is the reduction of non-obvious exposed abilities associated with privileged signatures. The goal is to do this before the next ESR.

Luca, Shane, Andreas and I met, and we decided to require permissions for privileged features (and re-use `mozillaAddons` when a feature does not need its own dedicated permission). A benefit of enforcing this in Firefox is the reduction of non-obvious exposed abilities associated with privileged signatures. The allowed private browsing feature won't be tied to permissions, it'll still be tied to the isPrivileged flag. The goal is to do this before the next ESR.
