- Classificate 5 de 5per JM, prije 5 godinaI've never posted a review before for a Firefox add-on, but this one is so elegantly implemented (and so sorely needed) that I felt compelled to do so.
This add-on is a simple solution to a vexing problem of how to force a bookmark to open in a specified container every time. Kudos to the developer!
If it's not entirely clear from the add-on description, once you've installed this add-on, you can replace any Firefox bookmark with the ext+container command syntax and that bookmark will always open in the specified container automatically. For example, if you have a bookmark to www.google.com that you want always to open in your Google container, first make sure you've created a container named Google, then right-click on your bookmark, select Properties, and change the location from https://www.google.com/ to ext+container:name=Google&url=https://www.google.com/
One note to other users: If your container's name has any spaces or other special characters in it, you have to urlencode the special character in the command (like replacing spaces with %20). For example, if you want your bookmark for www.bigbank.com to open in your My Banks container, the bookmark would be ext+container:name=My%20Banks&url=https://www.bigbank.com/Responsa de disveloppator
publicate prije 5 godinaThank you very much! I've never posted an extension either :) Regarding the bookmarking functionality, I plan some improvements for it (keeping the extension lightweight and the main functionality intact of course) and I will update the description accordingly. - Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 15922898, prije 5 godina
- Classificate 5 de 5per alberto.villar, prije 5 godinaI would rate it 10 over 5. The add-on says what it does and does what it says. It may seem obvious but I'd like to suggest the developer to highlight that if a bookmark adheres to the "ext+container:name=MyContainer&url=" syntax it will open in "MyContainer" directly. That's a very good thing to have

I can finally set up my password manager to open different accounts on the same site in different containers.
Edit 09 May 2020
Here is an example you can share. I use KeePass 2 password manager, which allows an override URL for specific entries. I have two Amazon accounts, which I open in different containers. In the Override URL field of both, I put
cmd://{FIREFOX} ext+container:name={GROUP}&url="{URL}"
The entry I put in KeePass' Work folder automatically expands to
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" ext+container:name=Work&url=https://smile.amazon.com/
The entry I put in KeePass' Personal folder expands to
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" ext+container:name=Personal&url=https://smile.amazon.com/

publicate prije 5 godinaThank you! This is a very interesting use case, do you mind if I share it in the description as an example? Also, can I ask, what kind of password manager do you use?
