This bug is about showing the data collection permissions in the install prompt. We'll probably deal with optional permission requests and updates in different bugs.

Verified as Fixed. Tested on the latest Nightly (139.0a1/20250427085921) under Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

For an extension requiring data collection, the install dialog will show a string stating “The developer says this extension collects: <data_collected_1>, <data_collected_2>, etc.”

For an extension with optional data collection requesting the T&I optional data collection permission, the install dialog will show a checkbox and a string stating “Share technical and interaction data with extension developer”, with the checkbox checked by default.

For an extension with optional data collection requesting a permission other than T&I, the install dialog will not contain any additional strings.

For an extension with no data collection, the install dialog will show a string stating “The developer says this extension doesn’t require data collection.”

For an extension with both the “none” data type and another data type, the install dialog will ignore the “none” type and show a string for the other collected data type – “The developer says this extension collects: <data_collected_1>, <data_collected_2>, etc.”

See attached screenshots for more details.
