Contido:
Firefox Private Network requires the following permissions:
*'''BrowserSettings:''' to disable FTP when the proxy is on. Secure-Proxy is unable to send FTP traffic through the proxy, and, for security reasons, we have decided to disable this protocol.
*'''CaptivePortal:''' to control when the network has a captive portal
*'''Identity:''' this controls the user authentication flow that allows you to log in. It’s needed to obtain the tokens to be sent to the proxy server.
*'''Idle:''' secure-proxy does a few operations when the browser is in idle state.
*'''Proxy:''' The most important permission! This is needed to configure the proxy.
*'''Storage:''' the extension saves the current tokens and the user information in an internal storage.
*'''Tabs:''' this permission is needed in order to open new tabs (for the survey and for the onboarding page).
*'''webRequest''' & '''webRequestBlocking:''' this permission allows Firefox Private Network to check the status of the webRequest and detect when something goes wrong.
*'''<all_urls>:''' The proxy settings are set for each request.
*'''Privacy:''' This is required to support WebRTC
*'''Telemetry:''' this is requested to obtain telemetry data about the network state and the user interaction.
