It doesn't mention addon permissions, which I would assume is something WebExtensions has, since that's how addons work in chrome. At least I hope this is the case, lack of permissions in firefox addons is a little scary, and probably one of the reasons I have the minimum addons installed

Anyone have more info on this?

Excellent, that's what I wanted to hear! Thanks
I'm much more relaxed using Firefox add-ons from addons.mozilla.org than Chrome extensions because Mozilla has actual people making sure that the add-ons don't do any nefarious things. (Or at least forces them to disclose that properly.) On the other hand, getting hidden adware or password keyloggers into the Chrome store is no problem at all.
