by jjmhtp, 6 years agoWorked for me, but requiring of unneeded permissions and developer response on raised concerns (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mozlz4-edit/reviews/1081494/) is unacceptable. Code simply must not ask for permissions it does not need.

posted 6 years agoAll these permissions are needed to let the extension works properly. I deleted exaggerated permissions since the comment that you mentioned. And I said that in comments but moderator of the site deleted the user comment with my answer. :)
If you worry about security and if you think that the extension that works locally can some how make a harm then you can use the extension without an installation as I described in the extension description. In the case the extension will be executed in a Firefox sandbox as a usual local HTML page.
I know that the code of the extension is not an ideal and I am going to improve it as soon as I have time. Now the extension works and does what It should. :)
Well, so many questions about these useless permissions :) I think I should add some info about it to the description.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mirage, a year agoThis expansion is killer, it's simply brilliant. You can modify the search engines as you wish. It works really well, it's very practical.
Thank 🙏 - Rated 5 out of 5by Appel, a year agoIt's insane that this extension has to exist at all but I'm really glad it does as it at least provides a way to edit Search Engines. Works like a charm.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Korwin, 2 years agoПлюсы: позволяет переименовать custom search engines. Что и требовалось. Минусы: порядок таковых в открываемом xml не соответствует порядку в браузере, что при десятках позиций может затруднить поиск. Нельзя изменить / добавить иконку к custom search engine. Не изменить цветовую тему редактора — в текущей выделенный текст почти неотличим от невыделенного текста.

- Rated 5 out of 5by NachoDevice, 3 years agoThanks for this extension. Because they use a proprietary variant of json.lz4, and how rarely I need to modify the search provider, I had to figure it out more than once. This extension should never be deleted as it serves as an example. You are far too kind in your assessment of Mozilla's practices here.
