Bug

What is the current behavior?

Can't test my extensions on Firefox for Android because it's package doesn't ask for android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.

D:\MyUser\Dev\Vs\PrivateCookies>web-ext run -t firefox-android --adb-device ifjbnnvsmv7hbqwg --firefox-apk org.mozilla.fenix
Running web extension from D:\MyUser\Dev\Vs\PrivateCookies
Selected ADB device: ifjbnnvsmv7hbqwg

s: Required android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE has not be granted for org.mozilla.fenix. Please grant them using the Android Settings or using the following adb command:
         adb shell pm grant org.mozilla.fenix android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE



D:\MyUser\Dev\Vs\PrivateCookies>adb shell pm grant org.mozilla.fenix android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

What is the expected or desired behavior?

The extension should be temporarily loaded in Firefox for Android.

Version information (for bug reports)

• Firefox version: Nightly 93.0a1
• OS and version: Android 11 RP1A.200720.011 (MIUI 12.5.2.0 RGGEUXM)

node version: v14.17.0
npm version: 6.14.13
web-ext version: 6.3.0

Same here.

• Firefox Nightly 93.0a1
• Galaxy Tab S7+ with Android 11

It doesn't looks like web-ext issue but Nightly's packaging.

I opened the above issue in the Fenix repo. Experiencing the same on Galaxy A72 with Android 11.

Installation from source working great until this gets pushed in a new npm version. Thanks for tackling this! Got my add-on running nicely on my Galaxy A72 with Android 11.
