    Thank you! Regarding the bookmarking functionality, I plan some improvements for it (keeping the extension lightweight and the main functionality intact of course) and I will update the description accordingly.

    I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. I can finally set up my password manager to open different accounts on the same site in different containers.

    Edit 09 May 2020
    Here is an example you can share. I use KeePass 2 password manager, which allows an override URL for specific entries. I have two Amazon accounts, which I open in different containers. In the Override URL field of both, I put
    cmd://{FIREFOX} ext+container:name={GROUP}&url="{URL}"

    The entry I put in KeePass' Work folder automatically expands to
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" ext+container:name=Work&url=https://smile.amazon.com/

    The entry I put in KeePass' Personal folder expands to
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" ext+container:name=Personal&url=https://smile.amazon.com/

    Exceptionally useful.

    Thank you! This is a very interesting use case, do you mind if I share it in the description as an example? Also, can I ask, what kind of password manager do you use?
