I am new to Qubes OS. My understanding is that TemplateVMs are for installing software, DVM Templates are for configuring software, DispVMs and AppVMs are for running software, and StandaloneVMs are kind of all of the above.
AppVMs are based on TemplateVMs. DispVMs are based on DVM Templates. I have a standard set of Firefox add-ons that I like to install (particularly privacy-based ones). I'd ideally like all my Firefox instances to have these add-ons. I assume I can do that by creating a DVM Template, installing Firefox add-ons there, and then using DispVMs. The problem is that I also want to have different sets of bookmarks and settings depending on domain (for example, work, school, banking, etc.). Since I want persistent bookmarks and settings, I assume I need to use an AppVM (one per domain) instead of a DispVM, but then I can't get a shared set of add-ons, since it's not recommended to configure anything in a TemplateVM (what AppVMs are based on). What are my options for my use case (Firefox add-ons shared among VMs and separate bookmarks and settings per domain)? I'm guessing the safest option would be to just set up Firefox from scratch in a bunch of AppVMs. I'm hoping there's a more convenient solution, but maybe this is a case where one has to sacrifice convenience for security.
