Sticky Window Containers by jchronakis
Review by Good Developer
Rated 5 out of 5
by Good Developer, 6 years agoUpdate: It does work! Just that the new-tab page doesn't reflect that. It shows the container only *when* a URL is loaded. It's not the same as opening a new container tab from the main container extension (that one does show the new-tab page with the container color and name). The user has to take a leap of faith (potentially risky) by loading the URL without receiving adequate affordance (like the color and name) in the new-tab page.
Star increased :)

Doesn't seem to work for me on MacOS 10.14.4 with Firefox 66.0.3. Created new window, switched container, closed the first non-container tab, then created new tabs with cmd+t but they are regular non-container tabs.

posted 6 years agoThank you for reporting this. Did you open a page in the newly opened tab? The newly opened tab starts as "default" but switches to the container just before loading an external site. My add-on cannot display default firefox pages such as the new tab page or any "about" pages in a container. At least I haven't found a way to reliably do this yet.
If it doesn't work for you, I would be grateful, if we can have a chat on the github issues page https://github.com/chronakis/firefox-sticky-window-containers/issues so that I can solve the problem.
Thank you.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Andrei, a year agoAt first I thought it doesn't work. Turns out when you just create a tab it's not in a container yet in contrast with the situation when you create new tab in a container manually. But when you go to a website it is changed to the corresponding container of the first tab. Works well for me!

- Rated 5 out of 5by kstev99, 3 years agoThis is exactly what I needed ! Thanks to the developer!
At first i didn't think that it worked until I realized that the PINNED tab farthest left is considered the First Tab and not the first full sized tab. Keep this in mind if you have pinned tabs as I do. I can live with that, but I wish that there was an "Ignore Pinned Tabs" Setting - Rated 5 out of 5by josh, 3 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by the21st, 3 years agoI am having an issue where if I open a URL from the outside of Firefox with a site that I asked Firefox to "always open in a specific container", 2 tabs get created instead of one, both with the same URL.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17032502, 4 years agoPerfect for project management. Should be default for Firefox.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rick, 4 years agoThis is so close to being perfect. Only issue I'm having is when waking a tab that was in a different container and put to sleep with Auto Tab Discard. When it's opened a new tab is created, leaving a blank window tab behind.
It works fine when a sleeping tab in the windows main container is woken up. So this is a minor minor problem, otherwise awesome! - Rated 5 out of 5by John Homebrew, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Youareyou, 4 years agoDoes exactly what it says it will do, this is very useful for my workflow where I separate personal and school stuff by window.
Edit: The following issue has been fixed after a PR on Github!
The only issue I have is that if the first tab in a window is a container, it prevents me from opening "default" (not sure if that's the right term) pages such as settings and the add-on manager. This is already logged as Issue #8 on Github. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kostiantyn Moroz, 4 years ago
