Toggling it manually requires going to about:config, and searching for it. On startup it's enabled (i.e. do isolate) via a config file, so I could change it there with a shell script. I think though that I'd have to restart Firefox for it to take effect. The extension gives me a handy button in the toolbar that's red (danger) when it's off (i.e. not isolating) that I can just click to toggle. Yes it's a tiny job for an extension, but do one thing well right? Also, to be honest, it's easier that it's there than switching to or pulling up a new shell. Afk to confirm, but pretty sure this is the one I use: https://github.com/mozfreddyb/webext-firstpartyisolation
