Rethinking Extension Data Consent: Clarity, Consistency, and Control – Mozilla Add-ons Community Blog
We’re simplifying how extensions gets consent to collect data
In 2025 we will launch a new data consent experience for extensions, built into the Firefox add-on installation flow itself. This will dramatically reduce the:
- development effort required to be compliant with Firefox data policies
- confusion users faces when installing extensions by providing a more consistent experience, giving them more confidence and control around the data collected or transmitted
- effort it takes AMO reviewers to evaluate an extension version to ensure it’s compliant with our data collection policies
