Happy you like it!

Option for customizing Container-Colors and -Names should be no problem, gonna implement that together with the Preferences-Feature for the Add-on.

If I understand you correctly regarding the Hotkey, you mean a Hotkey that opens a "New Window" without a Container. If that's the case, then yes, support for opening Tabs/Windows without a Container is also planned.

Edit (27. Nov 2017):
Preferences for configuring of Container-NamePrefix, -Color and -Icon is now available. Default NamePrefix changed to "tmp".

For now the only way to have "No Container"-Tabs is to deactivate the "Automatic Mode" in the Preferences.

Edit (2. Dec 2017):
There are now Keyboard Shortcuts to open "No Container" Tabs even in "Automatic Mode": Alt+N (New Tab) and Shift+Alt+C (New Window)

    Works great! It'd be cool if there was a shortcut to convert temporary containers into permanent ones for when you create a new account that you want in a separate container.

    I love this addon and have been using it for 5 years now, but recently I noticed a weird issue: when I open a few links from my bookmarks in rapid succession, the tabs get stuck and I can't switch tabs anymore or do anything else. It doesn't happen when this addon is disabled.

    Fantastic add-in that I use daily for both personal and work-related needs.

    Rest in peace @stoically. This is a wonderful piece of work. If any eager coders out there can lend a hand in forking this project, I and many others would greatly appreciate that. My use case is to set the isolation behaviour on middle click to "always" so you can continue browsing within a given container, while opening new tabs in new ones.

    Works great.

    Due to "helpful" changes in firefox around the end of 2023, you may want to set `browser.link.force_default_user_context_id_for_external_opens` to true in about:config . Doing this ensures that links opened from other applications doesn't end up in some existing temporary containers. Details here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1874599 .

    This is a must have and one of the main reasons I keep using Firefox.
    My only concern is that is has not been updated in a while, but other than that, it works great.

    Very nice extension, does exactly what it says, perfect for development.
  • by Passerby, a year ago
    Wow, what a very well made extension with great customization options!

    First of all it does exactly what is says on the tin!

    And second, it has a huge amount of options. Like you can even choose a random color each time a temporary container opens *and* you can exclude colors that you already use with some other container! That is awesome.

    Easy to use. Does a wonderful job.

    This is a useful addon. Sadly, the developer passed away on January 2023, so there is no further updates. You can view the github page to read more about the future of this project (issue#618).
