"permissions"
This experimental "Permission" program and repeated new downloads several times weekly, are driving me crazy. Mozilla started this without notification/explanation.. Had no idea why I received frequent annoying downloads and popups for Permissions. A little bit intrusive don't you think? Stop it. No description applies in this circumstance.

Hi
I am sorry but I am not sure what you are referring to in respect the "experimental "Permission" program". Can you explain what you mean by this?
Found on Firefox website. To better protect your privacy and security, Firefox includes permissions that control whether websites can access apps and services on your local network and local device. This change stops websites from exploiting them without your knowledge.
progressive rollout banner This feature is experimental and is being introduced to the Firefox user base through a progressive rollout. It may not yet be available to all users.
I'm annoyed. How about you?
Copied from Firefox website:"To better protect your privacy and security, Firefox includes permissions that control whether websites can access apps and services on your local network and local device. This change stops websites from exploiting them without your knowledge.

Experimental and permissions are their terms. A Firefox permission box pops up whenever I visit a site I regularly use. The popup specifies 2 options to allow or to block. I was unable to copy and paste popup.
I am not annoyed at all, but I would welcome a link to the page where you are seeing g this so that we can better understand the concerns and try to find a solution for you.
You don't seem to be familiar with this phenomenon, and so therefore not annoyed. Did you read what I copied? Note words experimental, permissions.

At this point, not looking for solutions. Mozilla and others do as they like as always. In this case, intruding without explanation.
