<!-- Important info for localizers to save you unnecessary work: You don't need to translate THIS article for the "Klar" product, because it is needed for the German locale only, so you can simply ignore it. Of course you are free to localize it, but pls notice that this Klar article will not automatically receive any upcoming edits, all edits must be manually transferred from the "Focus twin article" and this article is therefore not easy to maintain. All other locales except German are asked to use this "Focus" link for localizing: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-firefox-focus-android-use-permissions-it-requests], this link will always receive and contain future edits. Background: For legal reasons we cannot use the product name "Focus" in Germany, therefore the product name was changed to "Klar" for German speaking countries. As a result it requires separate articles ("twin articles") which don't use the name "Focus", neither in the title nor the text. Those articles also have their own separate breadcrumb "Klar" instead of "Focus". (Artist, August 28, 2022) --> When you install an application on an Android device, Android will indicate all the functions that the app is capable of, such as accessing your camera, contacts or location. In order to access these resources, applications ask for specific permissions. Each permission is accompanied with a brief description to offer an understanding of what it may be used for. To install an app, you must acknowledge that you're aware of what the software is capable of by giving Android your permission. For example, when you visit a website that requires a specific function, such as taking or uploading a picture or finding your location, Android will ask you for permission before it performs that function. __TOC__ =Firefox Klar functions and permissions= Google has recently simplified the app permissions lists, so you might not see all the permissions displayed here.
