This validation [0] seems to be complaining about the storage permission, which should be valid [1].  Manifest [2].

Running the same manifest through the validator [0] again gives no errors [1].

[1] https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/upload/4188e32b236745b9be33ca909bf92f20

Notice the same date.  Possible the developer changed the manifest?

Maybe. "storage" is indeed a valid, recognized permission:

https://github.com/mozilla/app-validator/blob/master/appvalidator/specs/webapps.py#L90

However, each permission must be an object that looks something like `"storage":{"description": "I need access to your files"}`. In this case, it looks like the developer had written `"storage":"Allow"`, which is indeed wrong. It does look like the developer has changed the value since then.

Marking as INVALID, but if I'm missing something, please reopen.
