Firefox is enforcing that all new extensions explicitly define data_collection_permissions.

I'm not sure yet if we have to say none or searchTerms. So I'm investigating this and posted a question on their Matrix chatroom.

Once I have the answer, we'll define it!

This add-on does not collect any data. It just redirects certain searches to Reddit. However, I'm not sure if by their definition if that counts as transmission or not.

If my understanding is correct, this is what we'd need to define:

      "data_collection_permissions": {
        "required": [
          "searchTerms"
        ]
      }
If my understanding is correct, this is what we'd need to define: ```json "data_collection_permissions": { "required": [ "searchTerms" ] } ```
