Clarify why the new Download permission is needed #2961
Comments
For exporting the database. It's much simpler to utilize the Downloads API to initiate the save request. It's possible to do without but the code is not quite as clean. Honestly there should be a 'save this file' API (that prompts the user) that doesn't require Downloads permissions, but unfortunately there isn't. |
That. |
In Firefox >= 60, |
I want to do other Fx-60-minimum changes in the next release anyway, so that sounds great. |
Oh, #2962 |
So firefox just told me that I need to accept the new permission that greasemonkey requires to update it:
"Download files and read and modify the browser's download history"
I didn't see it mentioned in the blogpost so I thought I'd ask.
