firefox-webext-incognito-split.md

Since Firefox does not support split mode for extensions in incognito mode, extensions that use split value for incognito key inside manifest.json configuration file might not be (side)loaded at browser startup.

One solution is simply removing incognito key from manifest.json:

sed -i "/^\s*\"incognito\":\s*\"split\",/d" manifest.json

I figured this out when running Debian Buster with Firefox 68.2.0esr with webext-ublock-origin package since the browser did not load uBlock Origin.
