User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0
Steps to reproduce:
Certain Extension demand 'Unlimited Client Data Access' cause of new functions from update.
so I try to exclude certain Permission privilege from the extension setting UI for block.
Actual results:
Firefox only had Doorhanger UI for 'Allow or disallow Permission request from Extension'
not the Direct adjustable UI for blocking permission from Extension Setting.
Expected results:
it cause the 'forcing use or not' issue to extension user,
certain extension could be abusing doorhanger popup screen from extension update to 'dump the respons to user agreement'
this kind of UI issue is simmilar one with Old Firefox's Pop-up allowing issue.
so have to supply UI for user can allow/disallow certain indivisual permission from Extension Setting screen.
just like other OS like Windows, Android XPrivacy, Android Lineage OS's privacy management UI and other varient like Samsung's one.

Thanks for taking the time to add this issue, looks like an enhancement.
I'm not sure if WebExtension> Frontend is the correct component. Frontend Team, if this is not the right component please feel free to route this ticket to the corresponding team, thanks!

This would only be possible for the permissions that are actually requested as optional, but it is a reasonable enhancement and we discussed about it before and from what I recall we all agreed that the permission tab in the addon detail view would be a good place to provide it to the users.
In the meantime, I'm moving it to the Add-ons Manager component, because this is actually an enhancement of the about:addons page.

In retrospect, this is a more important issue than P3. Users have no way to even see what permissions have been granted to an addon if those permissions were optional. And since we need to list them, we may as well make it possible for the user to revoke those.
