Forcing an addon (installed with policies.json) to work in private windows
I'm developing a parental control add-on, installed with policies.json. It works... but it's easy to disable it by simply deactivating it in private windows + opening a private window, which kinda makes it useless.
Is there a way to force my add-on to work in private windows, regardless of user choice?
If that's not possible, is it possible to somehow disable private windows while the add-on is disabled in private windows.
Note: I know that I can disable private browsing entirely with policies.json `privatebrowsingmodeavailability`, but I'd rather avoid it. Kids browing privately is a good idea :)

What Addon are you referring to here? In private mode they are disable unless the user enables them. This is for user help forum if you have Addon problem you should really request it through bugzilla if that's how to send them the request. Also if you let them use it in Admin computer mode anything kids do they are the Admin and you need to password protect that first before anything else.

Unfortunately due to a Bug where once an Agent processes the thread, it can no longer be moved to another product section. I have been asking for them to fix this.
