Good enough sometimes, but often opens subdomains in new tabs even though I changed settings to do otherwise. Open in X container context menu option for Multi-Account Containers is broken, and I need to disable the addon everytime I want to add a new domain to a container.

Developer response

To reproduce the subdomains issue I'd need some steps to reproduce (ideally in an GitHub issue: https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues). Most of the time the issue comes from the fact that other domains are in-between when the redirect happens, which then causes the isolation.

"Open in New Container Tab" in combination with MAC isolation not working is expected behavior since the isolation will overwrite it (See: https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/170). Alternatives to disabling the Add-on is globally toggling isolation, using the Alt+i shortcut (needs to be enabled in the advanced preferences under "Keyboard shortcuts") or the "crossed circle icon" in the toolbar popup (needs to be enabled in the general preferences).

    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.

    One of the best privacy addons I've installed in the last years

    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, 2 years 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.
