Description
I was looking at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/
and before installing, it asked if all the permissions needed by this plugin would be ok.
it's a lot.
The only feature I really want from vimium is the f / in-page jumping.
Is there a way to opt in to all the things or have only this feature? or is it not possible?
Thanks!

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by investigating Vimium's Firefox permission requirements and whether the f in-page jumping feature can operate separately; done would mean a documented or implemented reduced-permission option with a clear answer about the remaining permissions.
