Is it possible to automatically install extensions and set native Firefox configuration through the config? All my other programs are setup by just cloning my dotfiles and I really wish Firefox had that option.

You can't configure extensions yet but you can set prefs! https://glide-browser.app/api#glide.prefs.set

I've never managed to figure out how to configure extensions through the Firefox JS APIs, but installing an add-on using the internal APIs isn't too hard. I do it in my VimFX config.js[0]. Hope this is useful.

oh that is very helpful, thanks for sharing :)

No problem, thanks for making Glide. I'm looking forward to trying it. Also, feel free to take inspiration from anything else you might stumble upon in my configs.
