Hellllooo Mozilla Connect! We want to thank those folks (2,852 of you!) who participated in the Firefox User Research survey on feature priorities we posted here last month. If you recall, this survey showed participants multiple sets of 3 random browser features, then had participants pick whether...
Option to allow browser extensions to run only on specific websites
This actually sounds pretty awesome. Now I want that feature. Good job Mozilla, now I want a feature which I may not get soon enough. ^^ Sometimes I wish to be an ignorant.
Just noting: If one develops a firefox extension one can already restrict it via URL.
That should be the first application one develops within the official tutorials.
You could even change this as a non-programmer as long as sources of the software are available.
At the expense of having to either hope devs do it or only use extensions that give the source, having to do it for every extension individually, having to redo it every time you want to add or remove a URL, no longer getting automatic updates, and having to redo it every time you want to update.
I get the sentiment but it’s not worth the hassle, especially when it would be trivial to have this as a browser feature that would solve all of those problems.

Would be a great feature for online school websites…
Though that also depends on them not using Honorlock (or Honorlock adding firefox support…)
