How do I give permanent permission to an extension that asks for permission on every website visit? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have the an extension installed for Firefox and I see the green dot under my extension menu on every website visit and everytime I reload a website indicating that it asks for permission to read data on that website again. When I hover over it it tells me that I can allow it for this visit and the cog wheel menu has the option "only when clicked" for "extension can read and write data" ticked. Clicking on that option does nothing.

How do I give the permission permanently? It's annoying to have to click that everytime.

It's a known issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1851083

There's somewhat of a workaround there, but hopefully it'll just get resolved properly soon.

I'm curious about what the extension is. Anyway, if you're on Windows, you could potentially build an AutoHotkey script to automatically click that whenever it comes into view.

It was "Kagi Search for Firefox" but I realised that I don't need it to set my default search to Kagi, so I uninstalled it for now.
