Restrict Add-On to Specific Containers

more options

So I'm loving containers. They're great. However, I wish for some of my add-ons to only be on some containers. For example, I don't mind the Honey or Amazon Shopping add-on in my Shopping Container. But I would prefer them not to be in my banking container. In reality I'd like my banking container to have almost no add-ons.

Is there a way to set add-on to container affinity?

Having separate profiles is the best option.

However you can request this feature by going to bug 1191418 and creating a new bug that blocks this bug, using the New/Clone button.

I don't think it's even considered.

@TyDraniu Is this the place to request that feature?

You can consider to use a separate profile that doesn't have these extensions installed. If necessary then you can use Sync to sync bookmarks and other data.

See "Creating a profile":

You can also consider to use private browsing mode for your bank and disable these extensions for PB mode.

Note that containers do not work in PB mode.

I know that I can, in theory do this. But it's definitely not the only usecase I have for segregated add-ons.
