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.

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.
