@verymucho Hello! The extension gets access to the page only after clicking on the icon, but no access request is made by the extension before the click. This is a Firefox bug and it may seem like the extension is asking for permission every time, although it is not.

To avoid injecting content script into all pages, we added the scripting permission as tabs.executeScript cannot be used for Manifest V3. Link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/tabs/executeScript.

We hope that Firefox developers will fix this, but it should not affect the behavior of the assistant.
