It could show:</P><P>- Extensions with permission to read or modify content on the current site, distinguishing broad host permissions from temporary access.<BR />- A plain-language explanation of what each displayed permission allows.<BR />- A direct route to the relevant existing permission controls or to disable an extension.<BR />- Clear information about whether a change affects the current tab, all tabs for that site, or the extension everywhere, including whether reloading is needed.</P><P>This should be an optional review that users open deliberately. Repeated warnings on every visit could become distracting and train people to dismiss them.</P><P>The wording also matters. Permission to access a page does not prove that an extension has collected data, and a permission summary cannot certify that an account or browser session is secure. It should explain the scope of the information shown, including any extension capabilities that are outside that view.</P><P>I am interested in discoverability and clarity around the controls, rather than reporting a specific failure or security incident. If an existing Firefox workflow already provides these details, it would be useful to discuss how users could find it more easily.</P><P>Would a site-specific summary be helpful, or would clearer links and explanations in the existing Extensions menu address this better?</P> Wed, 11 Nov 2026 09:57:09 GMT Allyally 2026-11-11T09:57:09Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/review-extension-access-before-opening-sensitive-account-pages/m-p/146841#M60255 <P>Could Firefox make it easier to review extension access for a specific site before opening an account page?</P><P>Consider someone visiting an email account, a banking site, or a crypto account such as BYDFi.
