RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1427622

People

(Reporter: daniel, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

I went to an extension hosted on GitHub. I clicked install. I was prompted to allow installations from a non-AMO site, and agreed. I then saw the permissions the extension requests.

Actual results:

The first three entries were domains the extension requested permission to access. The fourth entry was the text "Access your data in [n] other domains", where n was a large number.

Expected results:

I wanted a way to view every domain the extension requests access for to ensure none of them had highly personal information (Google, bank, govt, etc.) and that all of them made sense given the extension's use-case (modify a known list of sites).
