Assuming it's https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/simple-gestur...: any ideas why does it need to "access my data for all websites" and "access the clipboard"?

Curiously the blurb recommends "Quick Gestures" which presumably is a different gesture addon.



- access data: probably because the gesture is actually done inside the page you're viewing, so it has to be able to capture that - clipboard: it was a feature requested, for gestures to be able to work with the clip board: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/simple-gestur... So just recently added for that reason
