fix: AutistMask does not work in Firefox private windows (closes #646)
Firefox gives an extension page in a private window locks of its own, so a popup there could save between the background's read and its write and undo a network switch the background saved. `manifest/firefox.json` now sets `"incognito": "not_allowed"`, so such a page cannot read or write extension storage, and `tests/manifest.test.js` pins the key. README and the user guide say AutistMask does not work in Firefox private windows. Chrome needs no change: in its default incognito mode an extension page shares the background's lock. A Firefox user on "Never remember history" can no longer run AutistMask at all. Model: opus-5-5
