Open external links in a container di Denys H
Recensione di JM
I'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/

pubblicato il 6 anni faThank 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.

- I wonder why basic functionality like this aren't implemented in containers by mozilla! Great work, with additional option 'network.protocol-handler.external.ext+container' set to true in about:config which removes prompt on every link opening with this extension. Allows to create a bookmarks which opens in specific containers. Thank you!
- Beautiful. Want to open a bookmark in a container tab? Just use:
ext+container:name=MyContainer&url=https[:]//mozilla[.]org
(eliminate the brackets around the colon & period] Then, search network.protocol-handler.external.ext+container in about:config and double click it to set boolean=true, and you'll eliminate the nag screen!
Thank you Denys H! - Valutata 4 su 5di AORKA, 10 mesi faI'd love to say this works perfectly, but unfortunately I'm on windows and the protocol handling doesn't seem to work right. Can't blame the dev who is clearly linux based like a sane person.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 17464066, un anno faThis addon has become an incredibly useful tool for me to be able to open up containers in a script-able way to allow site access for different purposes. Thank you so much for making this!

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! - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18251720, 2 anni faNew 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
- Valutata 5 su 5di Maud Royer, 2 anni faNice 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 ?

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13444454, 3 anni faLove 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.
- Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 13492451, 3 anni faI'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?
