Firefox for Android version 128 puts you in control of the data you share with Extensions. By managing optional permissions, you ensure that extensions only access what's necessary for their operation, safeguarding your privacy.

When you install an Extension, it might request permission to access certain data or features. Some extensions may need additional permissions to enable more features. The first time an extension attempts to use these features, you will see a prompt asking you to allow or deny these optional permissions. This way, you have the final say on what each extension can access, ensuring your data stays protected.
