Firefox disables profile-sideloaded extensions by default, so the Firefox
Color add-on that carries the Nord chrome theme installed but stayed disabled
and the chrome kept its default look. Set extensions.autoDisableScopes = 0 so
it enables on detection; the policy-installed functional extensions are
force-enabled by policy and unaffected.
The base Stylix Firefox target themes only fonts and the reader view, leaving
the toolbar and tabs at Firefox's default look. Enable colorTheme so Stylix
recolours the chrome Nord from the shared scheme through its managed Firefox
Color add-on, with no hand-written chrome CSS and no flake input of ours.
Scope ADR 0005's no-pinned-add-on rule to the three functional extensions and
record the signed, Stylix-managed theming add-on as a deliberate exception.
Firefox writes ~/.config/mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini itself on first launch,
pointing at an auto-created random-prefix profile. Home-manager then refuses to
clobber that file and fails the whole activation, so the declarative default
profile — search.json.mozlz4 (DuckDuckGo) and the Stylix user.js — never lands
and Firefox keeps running the stale profile with Google as default and no theme.
Set force = true on the generated profiles.ini home.file entry so home-manager
owns it, deploys the default profile, and Firefox switches to it.
Add Firefox as a single-purpose desktop Module configured entirely through
home-manager's programs.firefox, and fan it out from the desktop aggregator so
any Host with the desktop enabled brings the browser up.
Ship stock mainline Firefox, hardened and de-monetized through locked
enterprise policies (telemetry, studies, Pocket, offer-to-save-logins, the
default-browser check, Firefox accounts and sync, and the sponsored new-tab
surfaces all off). Force-install three extensions by policy, keyed by their
verified add-on ids: uBlock Origin, Proton Pass, and SponsorBlock.
Default search to DuckDuckGo over a lean list: the general-purpose commercial
engines are hidden with metaData.hidden so Firefox does not reconcile them back
in, leaving DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia. Theme the browser Nord from the shared
Stylix scheme against the one profile, and register it as the default handler
for the web-link schemes and HTML.
Record the stock-Firefox-plus-policy-extensions decision as ADR 0005.
