Hi. I think this will be possible after https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext/pull/830 although that patch was meant more for [web extension experiments](http://webextensions-experiments.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). It will definitely allow you to install multiple extensions at once...

There are quite a few examples: https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=runtime.onMessage&type= However, it may be helpful to create a new example specific to sharing data so that people could find it more easily when...

Also, once we have [config files](https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext/issues/176) then you could use one to set the value of `--ignore-files`.
