di tim richardson, prije 5 godinait Containers were already a "killer feature" of Firefox, this is like a weapon of mass destruction feature.
This extension means you can save a bookmark which opens gmail (or drive or calendar) in different containers for different accounts. Because the URL is the same for different gmail accounts, the standard feature of associating a URL with a dedicated container doesn't work: it's the same url for each gmail account, so they always open in the same container. This add-on solves the problem.
This is very convenient.
The notes are not very clear on how to do this.
Do it like so, taking gmail as the example.
Let's say you already have a Work and a Personal container.
First, use the Firefox container tool to remove any rules you have added which force gmail to open in a particular container. Such sites appear in a menu linked to the container name.
Add two bookmarks. You could go to gmail, and bookmark it, if you don't already have gmail bookmark
The normal URL is
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox
edit the bookmark to be
ext+container:name=Work&url=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox
then copy this bookmark to make a second one, and edit the bookmark to be
ext+container:name=Personal&url=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox

It's normal to 'disapear' page icon when change path to url in bookmarks into e.g.: ext+container:name=MyContainer&url=https://mozilla.org ??
##############
Are you planning to add something along the lines of detecting a potential container?
For example, we assign a container to a domain:
*google.com* -> google container
And if, for example, we click on a url call matching the pattern in another program it will open us automatically in a specific container.
Think about this, it would be a brilliant solution! - Valutade 5 su 5di Utent Firefox 18251720, prije godinuNew Firefox update added a warning each time a tab is opened, someone on github seems to have found a way to make it not appear. https://github.com/honsiorovskyi/open-url-in-container/issues/121#issuecomment-1869443971
- Valutade 5 su 5di Maud Royer, prije godinuNice extension. A bit annoying since 121.0 in which Firefox added a warning before opening each tab in an custom protocol. Does anyone know how to disable this ?

- Valutade 5 su 5di Utent Firefox 13444454, prije 2 godineLove this extension. No other browser that I know has this capability. One thing I love it for is to be able to have 2 gmail accounts open at the same time in the same browser.
- Valutade 5 su 5di Giulio, prije 2 godineIs working perfectly with the latest version in 2023 ! Had only to figure out how to save bookmarks because it's not really clear. Save it as ext+container:name=MYCONTAINERNAME&url=https://mozilla.org
- Valutade 1 su 5di Utent Firefox 13492451, prije 2 godineI'd be happy to change this to a 5 star if this extension worked. The extension won't activate and am using Firefox 110.01. Is there a procedure I have to follow to activate this extension after it has been enabled?
