[Bug] No indication that WebExtensions don't run in private browsing mode #10398
Comments
@eliserichards One of my initial thinking about add-ons and private mode was #6123 (comment):
@csadilek’s response was #6123 (comment):
At the end of the add-on install process, we’ve shown a non-blocking snackbar. To solve this problem, this snackbar will need to be changed into a blocking modal bottom sheet. This way, users will be given a chance to permit add-ons to run in private mode. Stay tuned for the design of this modal bottom sheet! |
@Amejia481 modal bottom sheet mockup attached below. |
Related: #6123 (introduced the ability to turn off add-ons in private browsing mode)
Related: #10140 (user confusion)
Related: #10244 (indicator in addon list that shows whether access to private browsing is allowed)
Steps to reproduce
Install an addon, e.g. uBlock Origin.
Expected behavior
The user should be notified that the add-on does not have access to private browsing mode, with an opt-in. On Firefox desktop, there is a post-install doorhanger where the user can tick a checkbox to allow access: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-private-browsing#w_granting-permission-on-installation
Actual behavior
There is no indication whatsoever that the newly installed add-on isn't able to access content that runs in private browsing mode.
