I see - once again, instead of just letting people fund the damn browser, Mozilla is continuing with its tried-and-true strategy of randomly integrating things into other things.
Fortunately, you can still get rid of all of them by disabling stuff in about:config

I’ve heard this comment so many times and had the same view. Then recently I found out they do take donations. Donate here for anyone who wants to :) I’d guess it’s not enough currently to cover for the millions they need to replace once they need to sunset their Google Search funding deal. https://donate.mozilla.org/en-AU/
There could be a bug related to declaring nativeMessaging as an optional permission, though that is not mentioned in the pull request [2], so this was probably an oversight.
EDIT: the minimum supported version was bumped to Firefox 91 in a subsequent PR apparently not for technical reasons, but just to follow guidelines [3], and then they forgot to reevaluate the need for the new default permission before a release.

It's possible to benefit from containers without using the extension: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#w_for-advanced-users
What functionality / convenience are you losing by doing so?
You extension also lets you sort open tabs by container but that doesn't sound very useful.

There's no option to donate to a specific project, though. As much as I'd like to support Firefox, I do not want to support any other shiny projects that they'll kiff of in a year or two.

I 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.
This permission is harmless because native messaging only allows an extension to communicate with a specific native companion program that has to be installed/enabled outside if firefox. If you don't install the companion program, this permission won't do anything. It does not allow the extension to run arbitrary programs.

Donating to mozilla considered harmful. https://itdm.com/mozilla-firefox-usage-down-85-but-why-are-e...
Someone help me out.. where can we find the constitution for the Mozilla foundation?
Who makes up the voting membership who could act on this sort of stuff at a governance level?
