There should be a way to allow extensions to execute only on specific websites like the Site access option in Edge does, this improves extensions usability and may also enhance privacy.
We keep hearing about how this extremely obvious, necessary and seemingly extremely easy to implement idea for a feature has garnered attention, yet here we are at 0% progress.
Honestly, what is Firefox even developing if not specifically this?? I can't think of a single thing that could me more important than fixing this glaring security issue which would also double as a massive sortof QoL feature...
Firefox is still the best browser, but this is irritating; just do the thing already...
I’m surprised this feature is still missing. Firefox usually leads the way in privacy and customization. There should be an allow list and a block list, letting users specify domains or URLs.
That said, it’s probably not as simple as it sounds. Properly implementing this while preventing extensions from misusing cross-page access could be tricky. Some possible challenges include:
- Preventing Cross-Site Data Leakage (e.g., iframe access between allowed and blocked pages) - Handling Redirects and Dynamic URLs - Ensuring Extensions Can't Bypass Restrictions (e.g., injecting scripts indirectly)
Still, I hope Mozilla prioritizes this, as it would be a major improvement for user control and security!
