Open external links in a container — Denys H

Ocena uporabnika DeronLJ

I have been waiting for something like this for a long time. 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/

Exceptionally useful.

Thank 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?

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!

I'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.

This 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!

Really nice extension!

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!

New 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

Nice 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 ?

Love 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.

Is 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

I'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?
