    Works fine. I appreciate that it's open source. I have some complaints, but I still use this extension daily. My gripes: 1. A bit clunky to set up for each website, especially if you have a lot of containers; you have to specify for each container that you want to redirect, and each container requires two clicks to change (there's no "select all", or better yet, "redirect all to current container"). 2. Seems to be many commits behind the main Multi-Account Containers repository, meaning it's not getting the latest updates and features from Firefox. 3. There's no way to specify your preferences if the site redirects immediately. For example, if you want all GitHub pages sites (https://*.github.io) to go to a "Microsoft" container, it can't be done, because you have to navigate to the bare base domain, github.io, to make the change in this extension, but that can't be done without getting redirected immediately to pages.github.io. 4. There's no exporting or importing your settings, nor any text representation of your settings you can manipulate with greater sophistication than a point-and-click gui.

    Super, Multi container was not working (for me). So, thank you for the fork

    Interesting, complex version of Multi-Account Containers, with some useful features that the main fork doesn't have. (Does have one bug, though: doesn't support the "gate" icon, though the other 12 icons work fine; hopefully this will get found and fixed.)

    I like this addon mostly because it lets me open google search results in a different addon.
    However, it bugs on a basic usecase and I can't believe I'm the only one to report this.

    Scenario:
    Create container A
    Open google.com in A
    Click on "Open in A by default"
    Create a new tab in default container, not in A
    Open google.com
    The "Open this site in your assigned container?" page comes, and clicking on the buttons "Open in Current container" or "Open in A container" doesn't do anything. The only way to open google.com is to open a container A and then open the site.
    I expected the buttons to work.

    The same feature works flawlessly on Multi-Account Containers.

    This was tested on Firefox 75.0 on newly created empty profiles.

    Could you please fix it ? This is really problematic.

    Edit: I found the problematic file, and made a pull request on GitHub.
    Edit2: pull request approved and addon updated. perfect now :)

    1-How can I export my rules? or Where is location of stored rules file?
    2-Can you make this feature(for this extension or new one): Example:

    I have X named bookmark folder.
    Include google.com, github.com, mozilla.org ...
    I have Y named container.
    I want to open all X folder bookmarks in Y container tabs when I click with middle mouse button.

    Content menu could be like that(or another way):
    Right click the X bookmark folder > Open always in this container > select Y container

    Works as advertised, but take care to carefully read documentation.

    Reply: I have a "Google" container which I use for gmail. I set transition rule to open links in default container from "Google". When I click on a link in a mail it still opens in the "Google" container.
    Reply2: Yep, that was the problem, got mislead by the button label.

    Could you elaborate on what you did, what you expected to happen and what actually happened? I've just tested it on 65.0b7, and there doesn't seem to be a problem as far as I can tell. (It may either be a bug in the code or simply an issue with the lack of documentation.) Thanks in advance!

    Reply: Thanks for your response! Did you set the transition rule via "Edit Defaults" or "Edit Transition Rules"? In your scenario, you should use "Edit Defaults". "Edit Transition Rules" edits the transition rules for the currently loaded URL, so if you for instance do that while in the gmail tab, it will be functionally telling it "if you open gmail from the Google container, then open it in the Default container instead". (This will also not do anything if you just follow links around gmail, because "navigating around the same website should not change containers" takes precedence.)
    (I understand that "Edit Transition Rules" may be a misleading label for the button, but "Edit Transition Rules for this URL" is too long...)

    Reply2: Right, thanks for trying it out and sticking around to figure out the issue! I added an attempt at a workflow illustration to the addon description, but I probably should come up with better positioning and/or labels for those buttons too.
