Is there a way to apply settings only to some websites? (midwest.social)

I keep finding myself having to manually disable and re-enable a few different settings as I use Librewolf, namely Letterboxing and WebGL, as I switch between browsing the internet and trusted sites or home server UIs. Is there any way to configure these on a site-by-site basis, or at least from a container/profile interface of some sort?

There is not. Maybe consider using regular hardened Firefox for trusted domains?

You can create separate profiles with different settings. That means you will have to use a different profile (a separate browser instance) for some websites. I personally launch each profile with keybindings.

Wow that's great can you explain How to set keybindings for launching profiles?

[–] panosalevropoulos@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Depends on the system you are using, but the principle is the same.

First, you need to set up your profiles in about:profiles. Then, you launch these profiles with firefox -P "<profile name>" in your terminal. Once that works, you can use anything that can launch programs via keybindings. It's easier on window managers. For example, in my Hyprland config, I have the following lines:

bind = SUPER, Z, exec, $browser -P "default"
bind = SUPER SHIFT, Z, exec, $browser -P "lesser"

SUPER+Z launches my hardened browser (no JS), SUPER+SHIFT+Z launches my vanilla browser (JS enabled, some options turned off). The $browser variable is set to GNU Icecat, a Firefox fork.
