Multi-Account Containers to “Exchange messages with programs other than Firefox”

#2I would really like Firefox to implement granular permissions per extension. So, if I can choose to not give this extension permission to talk to external programs. And hopefully the extension authors wrote it in a way that it degrades gracefully.

I was thinking the same thing when I was reading this link too.
Another thing I'd like is for Mozilla to not be able to deactivate extensions remotely.

#4This is very cool. You can now set a different proxy for every container!

#5It's possible to benefit from containers without using the extension:

Now if it could just wait to ask for the permission until it needs it...

#7Annoying change. Saw it yesterday and did not dare to accept. Good it comes up on HN, I might have forgotten.
I have never looked into extensions. Could I just repackage it without requesting the additional privilege? Well, if the code called it unconditionally even if I don't really need it the extension would stop working.

What functionality / convenience are you losing by doing so?

#9I wish they fixed the long standing, annoying sync bug that makes Firefox download 7000+ containers every once in a while. Some of us hosed our sync accounts in one way or another (through the container duplication bug in m-a-c itself [1] or the temporary containers extension [2]) and it's impossible to recover - once you reach the storage quota on the sync server, the sync server refuses all write operations and delete call apparently counts as a write.

I also saw it, and accepted, but the current version is 8.0.1 and its release notes say "Restoring previous version for some users who may have been accidentally updated prematurely 8.0.". So now I'm not sure what this means :/
Edit: aaah, now I have 8.0.2 and am a member of the club!
