Hi Freddy, Thank you for the reply. We think the file you said (PermissionSettings.js) is indeed the one we were looking for. Now we are trying to figure the permission request's structure by inserting some console.log() statements. The problem is we need to compile Gecko every time we make a change, is there a faster way to push changes locally without doing that (since we only modified that file)?
