Summary from :dholbert on GitHub

STR:

    Install Firefox DevTools ADB Extension in Firefox Nightly (by visiting Tools | Web Developer | WebIDE -- this causes the extension to suddenly appear in your list of installed addons).

    In a new tab, visit about:addons and click "extensions"
    --> Note that Firefox DevTools ADB Extension is tagged as ALLOWED IN PRIVATE WINDOWS

    Click the addon to view its settings, and try to click radio button labeled...
    "Run in Private Windows: ... [] Don't allow"

EXPECTED RESULTS: Click should be honored, "Don't Allow" should be selected.
ACTUAL RESULTS: "Don't Allow" is only selected very briefly, and then "Allow" becomes selected again.

There doesn't seem to be any way to select "Don't Allow". You can get it selected for slightly longer if you Disable the addon and then pick Don't Allow while it's disabled, but once you reenable it, then "Allow" becomes selected on your next (re)-load of about:addons.
