We would like to expose the privacy.firstparty.isolate preference that is, at this point, pretty well baked. This will allow privacy Web Extensions to toggle it on and take advantage of the work we did.

This will take the same form of Bug 1397611
I notice that there's another WebExtensions bug open (bug 1381197) regarding privacy.firstparty.isolate. Should this be considered alongside that, or are they independent?

These seem totally independent to me

Tom, are you hoping to get this into the 58 release? No issue, just tracking.

Yea, they are independent.

It would be great if we could since it goes along really well with Bug 1397611

I've updated https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/privacy/websites. I mostly just used the text from the JSON, it seemed really good.

Let me know if this covers it.
