Updating permissions on Firefox for Android

I'm getting an alert that BitWarden needs a new permission on my devices, but can't figure out how to do that, clicking on the alert simply opens Firefox and I can't find anything in settings or add ons, so how does one do this?

don't click on the notification. expand it by dragging it a bit down, it will reveal "accept" and "deny" buttons

Slaps his forehead, "Doh, forgot you can do such a thing, thanks."

To be fair, that shouldn't be the only way to do it. There should be an obvious way to do that in the settings as well.

I was confused by this same thing. Afaik clicking accept within the notification did the trick because it's working, and when I clicked into the add-ons manager and checked permissions for Bitwarden, I didn't see anything amiss.

What does the BitWarden extension do that the app doesn't?

Nothing really, having it installed is really a habit from my desktop where there isn't an app.

I'm having the same with an add on. I've just been dismissing it when it comes up and hoping a bug fix comes.

See other comments, you accept through the notification. I've been around Android since before that was something you could do, so I tend to forget about it. Now if only I could get NTFY to stop notifying me that it's running...

I accept it from the notification and it still comes back. This is for consent-o-matic. Idk, I'll try again. Maybe this time it'll work.
