Details

Sometimes I want to audit the granted permissions to extensions for privacy and performance.
This is intended to be addressed via Project Jazz [1], although not necessarily via changes to the Add-ons Manager. There is a plan to expose which permissions are granted to extensions via the UI. No bug has been filed for this feature, but a tracking bug for the project exists [2]. Mark, do you think it's worth filing a bug now about the changes that we intend to make for permissions for Project Jazz, and then duping this bug to that?

We will likely expose what permissions an extension is using in our Project Jazz updates [1]. This may get duped onto a different bug once we sort out the details. [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Projects/Jazz
