Steps to reproduce

1. Create a custom collection on AMO with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/togglereferrer/ and set it as the default collection in the Fenix addons manager
2. Access the Fenix addons manager and install the add-on
3. Tap on the extension card and select “Settings” (a page where an optional permission can be enabled is displayed)
4. Check the box for “Optional referrer spoofing feature”
5. Notice that a dialogue for accepting/denying the optional permission is not displayed at this point
6. Tap on the back arrow twice to return to the main page of the Fenix addons manager
7. Once on the main page of the Fenix addons manager notice that the optional permission dialogue is displayed

Expected behavior

The optional permission dialogue should appear on the Settings page of the add-on when the box for the permission is checked.

Actual behavior

The optional permission dialogue appears only after returning to the main page of the Fenix addons manager.

Verified as Fixed. Tested on the latest Fenix Nightly 120.0a1 (Build #2015979426), 76b8895043+, in both Light/Dark and Portrait/Landscape modes, using an Oppo Reno6 5G running Android 13.

The optional permissions dialogue triggered as per Comment 0 is now displayed on the add-on settings page as soon as the box for the permission is checked.

For more details, see the attached screenshot.
