Firefox default setting in Qubes OS

Beside useful @unman’s tip, I’m thinking on how to set this for disposableVM, for any browser.

  1. Download, not install, all the desired addons to a spare place.
  2. Set browsing dvm-template's netVM temporarily to none
  3. Open browser in offline mode in a disposableVM.
  4. Copy and install all the addons.
  5. Set the other browser’s settings as desired.
  6. Just in case clear whole cache.
  7. Finally, copy such set browser’s profile to a template's /etc/skel/
  8. Create completely new `dvm-template’ (see @unman’s post above why)
  9. Set netVM to dvm-template if not automatically assigned.
  10. Start fully set browser with a clean profile in a new online disposableVM.

This way, it works.

Since I’m using split-browser, relaunching is not an option, like it would be in the regular browsing disposables (I could just start disposable by first starting terminal then Brave and I could relaunch it then), so any idea @rustybird or anyone else could have on how to overcome this with split-browser would be great.
