Hi, thanks a lot for your rating. I am sorry, that the update has caused a notification prompt, which has been disturbing you. As far as I see you already researched and found our GitHub issue explaining what happened: https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/issues/171#issuecomment-3423634393

Technically, it is that the permission to access your “data on all your sites” has been there before, but only for the currently _active_ tab. Only now Firefox, surprisingly for me too, displays a prompt for that.

We are currently investigating how to deal with that issue, so I would ask for some time. It's still an open source project done by hobbyists. Rollback may be possible but could disturb users who already upgraded and there is no technical problem, after all. Also, for users who already upgraded this would not make a difference.
Anyway, I'd prefer to keep the discussion on the GitHub issue to constructively find a solution here.

The extension is fully open source, so one can verify that it respects user privacy and does not send data anywhere. You can do so yourself at https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker.

This extension also adheres to a strict and short privacy policy, which you can read in detail on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/awesome-emoji-picker/privacy/.
Furthermore, a detailed explanation of the permission this extension requests and why they are requested can be found on https://github.com/rugk/awesome-emoji-picker/blob/main/assets/texts/en/permissions.md.

I hope this explanation helps to explain the situation. Also note that you may, at any time, adjust your rating.


Best regards,
rugk & Teal Dulcet
