Description

Describe the bug
After researching - I guess that the problem is addon permissions when opening local html-files.

I can get vimium to work on local files in chromium via settings shown in vimium FAQ, but can't find the same option in firefox. If this option exists in firefox, I guess this should be added to FAQ.

To Reproduce
Open a local file in firefox - vimium doesn't work there. But works on the same page when placed on the network.

Browser and Vimium version
Firefox version 101.0
OS Linux 5.18.1-arch1-1
Vimium version 1.67.1

Research direction

Start with the Vimium FAQ and Firefox's extension permissions for local HTML files, using the reproduction described in the issue. Determine whether Firefox supports enabling Vimium on local files, then document the applicable setting or limitation in the FAQ.】【。
