Annoying change. Saw it yesterday and did not dare to accept. Good it comes up on HN, I might have forgotten.

I have never looked into extensions. Could I just repackage it without requesting the additional privilege? Well, if the code called it unconditionally even if I don't really need it the extension would stop working.

I also saw it, and accepted, but the current version is 8.0.1 and its release notes say "Restoring previous version for some users who may have been accidentally updated prematurely 8.0.". So now I'm not sure what this means :/

Edit: aaah, now I have 8.0.2 and am a member of the club!

Should be possible, but not sure if the code calls it unconditionally. You can also take the old version of the source code and publish it yourself. Though possibly you can also just download and install that directly? https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/releases...

You don't need it to use containers, just uninstall or disable it.
