Firefox Extension - Request permissions to always read and change data

I want to display a message showing what permissions an extension is requesting when it's installed.

Like this: https://extensionworkshop.com/assets/img/documentation/develop/General_permissions_message_example.e9c7e1a9.png

I'm lost.

That's what I have in my manifest.json, and it doesn't work.

....
  "permissions": [
    "<all_urls>",
	"tabs",
    "storage",
    "activeTab",
    "scripting"
  ],
...

Use 'manifest_version' as 2 instead of 3 in your manifest.json file. Using V2 is still considered acceptable. Now you can request permissions to always read and change data.
