"Nice, sounds like I can get rid of the extension I use to toggle `privacy.firstparty.isolate` ..."
Forgive me ... do I understand that there is a true/false setting in Firefox named "privacy.firstparty.isolate" that you like to toggle from time to time ... and you use an extension to do that ?
I don't do much browser customization and use only one extension (uBlock Origin) but ... couldn't I toggle a single Firefox setting with a simple command line ?
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.

Why would you need an extension to do that ?
Genuinely curious ...
