No site access setting in Firefox.

[mjs]

I just noticed that the Edge and Chrome extensions have a site access setting in their

extension pages. Firefox has no such setting.

Site access

Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit:

On click

On specific sites

On all sites

When set to -> on click the extension isn't running until you click the VDH icon.

The extension says:

Refresh the page to use this extension. Clicking the refresh button allows VDH to run

for that site you have open.

Some people have said they don't want the extension running in all tabs but per tab or only the current tab. There was one post where someone said they have hundreds of tabs open and only wanted it on the current tab but I can't find it. In those situations

setting it to on click is the way to go. Why hasn't Firefox got this setting ?

[mjs]

Well I thought someone said they had hundreds of tabs open on this forum but searching the forum finds no such conversations.

I'm going to guess that the Site Access control is something in those 2 browsers, not the
extension (any extension, not just VDH). Mozilla just hasn't implemented such a feature
in Firefox. But if both Chrome & Edge have such a thing, it wouldn't surprise me if some
day Firefox acquired such a feature.

And I remember that thread, too. Was it this one?

It wasn't hundreds of tabs but it was a large number.

Yes that's the one , they wanted only current tab. Well they can do that in Chrome and Edge versions for VDH. I don't think they mentioned the

browser they were using.

[mjs]

I mean that the actual extensions not the browsers have that setting:

Edge

Chrome

It could still be a facility offered by the browser. It might not be anything Michel has
coded in the extension. Only he could answer that.

It's actually not in the dev's scope, it's a browser feature.

We have no control on this.
