Additional permissions request for FireShot

Question

I just read the text at:
fcbmiimfkmkkkffjlopcpdlgclncnknm/fsPermissions.html

After not accepting the request FS keeps asking it every time I capture a scrolling page.

Can this question be disabled ? Because sometimes some tabs have confidential information and I do not want FS to read all tabs. But only the tab I am in when I click the capture button.

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry to say, that the current version is a little bit insistent in desire to make a better capture, because there's no way to disable this request.

Answer

Technically, only the page URL and title can be read at all times. The other functionality requires direct user's gesture like clicking one of the extension's menu item or a button. Ethically, this is not our business. Really, if FireShot was doing evil things, it would never have been where it is now.

Ok, clear. Does allowing this allow FS to read all tabs at all times ?
