Extension Metadata

About this extension
Container Autopilot puts your containers on autopilot.

Disposable by default
Every new tab (Ctrl/Cmd+T), every link opened from another app, and every address you type into an uncontained tab opens in a fresh temporary container. When its last tab closes, the container — and all its cookies and site data — is deleted automatically. Nothing lingers.

Rules route to permanent containers
Define regular-expression rules that always open matching sites in a specific permanent container — your bank, your work domain, your personal accounts. The first matching rule wins.

Stays out of your way
Follow a link inside a container and you stay in that container. Container Autopilot only steps in for brand-new navigations, so normal browsing feels unchanged.

One-click control from the toolbar
The toolbar popup shows the current page and the container it's in. From there you can add a rule for the current site, spin up a new permanent container on the spot, or instantly reopen the current page in any container. A full "manage all" page lets you edit, add, and delete rules.

Container Autopilot complements Firefox's built-in containers and the Multi-Account Containers add-on, but doesn't require either.

Example rules
- Any github.com page: ^https?://([^/]*\.)?github\.com(/|$)
- Only your bank's login: ^https://www\.mybank\.com/login
- Anything under a work domain: ^https?://([^/]*\.)?corp\.example\.com/

Privacy: Container Autopilot collects no data. Your rules are stored locally in your browser and never leave your device.
