Additional add-on permissions requested when upgrading Clippings from version 6.0.x

Users who are upgrading Clippings from version 6.0.x may notice a popup appearing in Firefox, asking you to confirm additional permissions being requested by the new version of Clippings. It may look something like this:

The add-on permissions popup that appears when upgrading Clippings.

Clippings 6.1 contains many new features that require asking for additional permissions at the time of the upgrade.  The new permissions are:

• Exchange messages with programs other than Firefox: This permission is needed for the new Sync Clippings feature, which would need to be turned on from Clippings preferences if you want to use it. If you won't be turning on Sync Clippings, then this permission is not applicable.
• Display notifications to you: This is needed for the new backup reminder feature.

You can learn more about the permissions that Clippings is requesting when it is being added to Firefox, and the reasons why they are needed, in this page on the AE Creations website.
