Try either https://github.com/kintesh/containerise (unmaintained), or a maintained fork of it, https://github.com/max-dw-i/container-redirect -- both have a settings-setup that mimics exactly a temporary container for every site (i.e. those that are not explicitly defined in custom rules).

If that's your threat model, the cited add-on is MIT licensed so you can generate an id of your own <https://github.com/kintesh/containerise/blob/3.9.0/src/manif...> and publish it for yourself, thus controlling its update and ownership lineage I agree it would be better if one could just install the .xpi from a server you trust but Mozilla hates its users so here we are

I use Containerise[0] (not affiliated) exactly for that purpose but I agree, this should really be included in the official plugin. [0]: https://github.com/kintesh/containerise

Thank you for your suggestions. I've been considering what to do about my Firefox setup for some time (switching to ESR vs one of the forks, which I have to research first). Thing is, I'm using a heavily-customized profile with lots of extensions, Violentmonkey [1] userscripts, containers (including Containerise [2], and Temporary Containers [3]), and a custom user.js (based on [4]), so I should also revisit the settings for all of these at the same time as it's been a while since I last did so. It's all on my to-do list but as the current setup works well, there's always something more urgent to do instead. 1. https://violentmonkey.github.io/ 2. https://github.com/kintesh/containerise 3. https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers 4. https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js The LTSC suggestion is also good.

debloated LTSC with lots of unnecessary packages removed (including the hidden ones, which are not supposed to be officially removable), and all kinds of customizations for privacy, security, performance, and convenience. While I'm satisfied with my setup (automated with custom scripts I've been maintaining since Windows 8), the number of hoops one has to go through to have their computer do what the user wants and nothing else, or a "User-Agent" that gives actual agency to the user these days is truly astonishing, and makes the goal unattainable for most people.
