The firefox list is pretty much entirely overly specific youtube tweaks (that you should be using uBlock or a more fully featured Youtube extension for), "games in sidebar", and custom cursors. Bonzi buddy and toolbars, anyone?

Seriously, an NES emulator? As a browser addon? That needs permission to access "your data on all websites"?
