Steps to reproduce:

I put the Video DownloadHelper extension in the collection list and cannot install.

Actual results:

Unable to install extension.

Expected results:

Let it install.

Video DownloadHelper requires permission nativeMessaging (aka Exchange messages with programs other than Firefox) which is blocked in Fenix.

Flags: needinfo?(eclaudiu64)

Jacky, thanks for identifying the missing permission. Implementing native messaging is bug 1632903. We can re-test this bug after bug 1632903 is fixed.
