Hi, I would like to know if it is possible that when I open a banking container all my extensions are disabled. In case there is a hacked one it will be disabled. Also they are not necessary for the web banking.

Thank you!

You can't do it. Add-ons are independent of containers. Furthermore, in Firefox one extension can't control other extensions.

You can turn off extensions for private windows, so yes, you can use it.

Note that containers do not work in Private Browsing mode, so it is either use containers if you want to separate data like cookies or use PB mode that uses a separate cookie jar shared by all PB mode windows.
