Why does Firefox need to see what websites i have been to and turn on the camera without my knowing?It seems the permissions are getting too intrusive.

I have always liked Firefox the best of all browsers, but will not be installing it on any mobile devices if it really can do whatever it wants to do like it seems from the permissions screen.

hello, these permissions are used to allow the import of the history from other browsers & for the camera api - please also refer to the following article which explains all the permissions: How does Firefox for Android use the permissions it requests?
