The final feature I am waiting for is a way to control browser extensions per container. No extension should be running when I login to my bank or insurance portal.
- arendtio 6y agoFor such use cases I use different browser profiles. It is a bit tiresome to set up, but afterward it works. For example, I have a profile for watching videos via Amazon and Netflix, which uses dark mode and some high-resolution extensions, but not tree-style-tabs which I use with my normal browser profile.
- karyon 6y agoFor a non-mainstream-feature I thought that rather easy. Open about:profiles, click "create new profile", enter a name, and then use the "Launch profile in new browser" buttons on that page to use that profile. I have one for work and one for non-work and it's great!
- arendtio 6y agoIn addition, you might want to add an entry to your system menu or place shortcut somewhere to start a new instance: /usr/bin/firefox -P my-profile --no-remote
- unqueued 6y agoIf you want more fine grained control, check out https://github.com/dyne/tinfoil https://github.com/dyne/tinfoil I actually have some scripts for managing not just profiles but extensions. Hopefully I can get it cleaned up in time to put on Github.
- sudhirkhanger 6y agoProfiles are cumbersome in Firefox. Chrome has much better support for Profiles.
- xgt008 6y agoThis, also as an expansion on this idea, I would love to see per container password management or atleast per Multi-Account container password management.
- cookiengineer 6y agoFunnily enough, I have extensions disabled in incognito mode, so I use the temporary incognito window for banks and other risky stuff. As my extensions include ublock0, umatrix and cookie autodelete normal tab close behaviour usually eradicates everything.
