Hi,
I have a question to the Firefox Snap permissions. I want to give Firefox the minimum of permissions which you can grant via Settings => Apps => Firefox Web Browser, because of security reasons.
So, a lot of them are self-explanatory, but there are some where I can’t imagine what that means and whether Firefox really needs such permission to run correctly and save or not.
These are the following:
- Run in Background
- Detect network devices using mDNS/DNS-SD
- system-files
- gsettings
- Access hardware information
- Mount-control
- login-session-observe
- opengl
- system-packages-doc
- Read/write access to U2F devices exposed
- Access energy usage data
So, my question is: Does Firefox really need one of these above permissions to run correctly and save (I am asking because I don’t know if some of the above permissions are for security reasons activated) or can I turn them off?
Maybe there is also a documentation available?
Thank you for your help!
