Subject: [PATCH] firefox: add containersForce flag

Firefox, upon exit, creates the default containers.json file in place of
the one that home-manager created. This leads to errors when switching
to a new profile, as home-manager is careful with overwriting existing
files. The added option toggles that behaviour.

Closes: https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/4989
