[Bug 2051188] Re: Firefox 122 update breaks webextensions permission

[Paul Rouget]

Amin, I think your change is responsible for that regression.

Title:
  Firefox 122 update breaks webextensions permission

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  We build webextensions for Firefox.

  Since the latest update to Firefox 122, the native webextension bridge
  stopped working.

  ```
  $ flatpak permission-show snap.firefox
  Table             Object                                App          Permissions                   Data
  desktop-used-apps application/vnd.debian.binary-package snap.firefox gnome-software-local-file,1,3 0x00
  webextensions     net.downloadhelper.coapp              snap.firefox yes                           0x00
  ```

  This used to work and be enough, but not anymore.

  In the logs I see:

  
  ```
