Permission request for extension after update is gone

more options

After an extension update, uBlock asked for some permissions. I clicked on the window to see more information about the permissions, and now the request is gone and I have no option to say yes or no.

I have not tried to restart the browser as I am currently using it, nor should I need to as seeking more information about permissions shouldn't dismiss the request.

Firefox might ask you again tomorrow. To try to trigger it now, you could do this:

Open the Add-ons page using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
  • type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

On the right side above the list click the gear icon to open a little menu and then click Check for Updates.
