With this extension containers actually work how they always should have. Containers + this extension is now way more powerful than Chrome's profile switcher.

This extension solves an annoying problem with containers - when you open a URL into a new tab (ALT+Enter on Windows) from the address bar in a container, Firefox does not normally persist the container. This extension does! Great work.

It works pretty well for the main task: opening a new tab keeping the current container. My one gripe is that when this addon is active, when you open a new tab, the address bar loses focus. My instinct is to hit Ctrl+T and then just start typing, but it doesn't work unless I disable the addon. Currently debating whether it's worth it to use the addon with this bug. Thanks!

Essential if you use containers.

Works great, 30 seconds in!

Usage: In a personal container, I press Ctrl+T and a new blank window opens (that's my default setting) - then I type in the url of a site, and when it loads, it's in the Personal container. Same with Work. Nice!

Oh yessss!!!

Didnt work as expected. Inconsistent behaviour. Works intermitently.

This add-on makes dealing with containers much easier, but it requires a lot of polishing.

I just found three bugs:

1) Customisation mode cannot be activated, because the add-on tries to "contain" it, what causes it to break (the add-on should check if it's the customisation tab that's being opened and avoid trying to "contain" it). Other built-in Pages work fine (about:config, about:preferences and so on). The bug only shows when the customisation is activated on a window with containers.

2) Control+N or File -> New Window opens a new container tab, instead of a new window! Once again, the bug only shows up when the commands are used on a window with containers. When done on a window without ANY containers, a new window is normally created (it doesn't matter if the active tab is "uncontained"). If, for instance, no window is uncontained, the is no way to create new windows (dragging a tab out of its window, luckily, still work, so it's possible to "produce" new "uncontained" windows by creating an empty tab, which will be contained, drag it out to create a new window, then switch the container of that new tab with Switch Container Plus, which is currently the only add-on able to change containers of empty tabs). Too much trouble just to create a window, but still possible.

3) When recovering from a crash, ALL tabs on ALL windows are "contained" (kind of randomly, depending on the first contained tab Firefox restores (it doesn't have to load it, just its presence in any window is enough to "contaminate" all other tabs). It's, in a word, disastrous, as all tabs change their containers (even uncontained ones), messing with logged in accounts, changing site preferences and whatnot.

Currently, this add-on is unusable (yes, it works fine enough while everything is running smooth, but then it may mess up everything in the event of a crash or restart).

It does exactly what I need, which is to bind CTRL-T to whatever the last container tab type was, and open URLs from external programs like (email or chat clients) in a Firefox container of the last type selected.

Someday this'll probably be part of the container tabs add-on, but for now it's a lightweight, stand-alone add-on. Recommended.
