Updating permissions on Firefox for Android (reddthat.com)

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."

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Especially as it's easy to do on the desktop

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?

[–] MrPhibb@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I always wondered.

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.

[–] MrPhibb@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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...

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Try a reboot afterwards?
