I use the Pin Unpin Tab add-on to be able to pin and unpin browser tabs via a keyboard command (Ctrl + Shift + P).

I noticed that this add-on has the permission “Access your data for all websites”. This seems unnecessary. What permission does this add-on really need?

It does seem unnecessary. A former r/firefox moderator built this one ages ago which works for me: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggle-pin-tab/

For some reason, the default keyboard command Alt+P, which is Option+P on macOS, did not work for me, but I remembered that there’s a way on about:addons to “manage extension shortcuts”, so I changed it to Shift+Control+P, and now it works.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
