Firefox for 63.0.3 (64-bit) for Linux Mint 1.0

Where are extension permissions set?

Bookmark tabs in TreeStyleTabs has error popup, it needs permission to create bookmarks.

The preferences search didn't help... Tree Style Tabs has container permission, nothing about bookmarks, no add button there... no link to anything... just nada.

I also have 'Bookmark Tree for Tree Style Tab' which also has no info about these permissions.

The solution is going to probably be... 1) Another settings page that wasn't included in the search? 2) Firefox updates broke the extension, so... wait?

I think it will depend.

It looks like the add on mentioned: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ is supported in the latest version Firefox 64.

I am not sure if it will work on Linux, however, can you share which version of the addon you are using, you might also be able to find some more help on the specific addon's listed support site. https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues Do you see an issue similar to the permissions error you are seeing? (maybe if we filter by "permission")
