Cookie-autodelete: Container Tabs can't be disabled in FF57

[xenopeek]

Regardless of the "Enable Support for Firefox's Container Tabs" setting on the Cookie Settings page, Firefox enables Container Tabs when Cookie AutoDelete is installed. Container Tabs can't be disabled while Cookie AutoDelete is enabled.

In Firefox' Preferences the setting "Enable Container Tabs" gets locked to enabled and is greyed out with the notice:

An extension, Cookie AutoDelete, requires Container Tabs.

Disabling Cookie AutoDelete immediately unlocks the "Enable Container Tabs" setting.

Could the need for Container Tabs be made optional?

• OS/version: Arch Linux 64-bit
• Browser/version: Firefox 57.0
• Cookie AutoDelete version: 2.0.1

this issue is very inconvenient b.c. now I'm forced to have "open in new container tab" in my context menu

The choice to use the option would indeed be neat

Support for Container Tabs (Firefox 53+ Only)

I doubt if this function is only valid for or from,i'm not sure :)

about:config
Settings:

• OS/version Sonya Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 64-bit

• Browser/version:Firefox Quantum 57.0

• Cookie AutoDelete version: 2.0.1

This is indeed bothering for anyone who wishes to not use the Container feature and who has set about:config (or via user.js) settings accordingly.

What I don't understand is that Cookie-Autodelete fixes itself to Container _regardless of the "Enable Support for Firefox's Container Tabs"_ setting on the Cookie Settings page.

Generally speaking I dislike an extension overlapping a user's choices when it is not stricto sensus required by the extension, especially when the extension provides a setting understood as avoiding it ("Enable Support for Firefox Container Tabs").

I truly appreciate Cookie-Autodelete, runs flawlessly, smartly thought and designed, but I'd wish it leave alone my choice regarding the Container settings. Whatever I write in my user.js file regarding privacy.usercontext.* it is systematically overwritten by Cookie-Autodelete on Firefox start. Please do remove this overwriting provided of course that the user has unchecked the extension's "_Enable Support for Firefox's Container Tabs_" option.
