If I understand your needs correctly, you can setup each VM/firefox to
use the Firefox sync using the same firefox account, and then adjust the
firefox account configuration to only sync the add-on's. Most people
want bookmarks sync'ed, but then that is easily turned off in that
account configuration. The bookmarks won't change but you will bet
add-on updates in each VM.

My understanding is that TemplateVMs are for installing software, DVM
Templates are for configuring software, DispVMs and AppVMs are for
running software, and StandaloneVMs are kind of all of the above.
AppVMs are based on TemplateVMs.
DispVMs are based on DVM Templates.
I have a standard set of Firefox add-ons that I like to install
(particularly privacy-based ones). I'd ideally like all my Firefox
instances to have these add-ons. I assume I can do that by creating a
DVM Template, installing Firefox add-ons there, and then using DispVMs.
The problem is that I also want to have different sets of bookmarks and
settings depending on domain (for example, work, school, banking, etc.).
Since I want persistent bookmarks and settings, I assume I need to use
an AppVM (one per domain) instead of a DispVM, but then I can't get a
shared set of add-ons, since it's not recommended to configure anything
in a TemplateVM (what AppVMs are based on).
What are my options for my use case (Firefox add-ons shared among VMs
and separate bookmarks and settings per domain)?
I'm guessing the safest option would be to just set up Firefox from
scratch in a bunch of AppVMs. I'm hoping there's a more convenient
solution, but maybe this is a case where one has to sacrifice
convenience for security.
Thanks!
