Features & Capabilities

When you click a link from an external application (email client, chat app, messaging app, etc.), Ask for Container intercepts the request and displays a popup window where you can:

• Select an existing container to open the link in • Create a new container with custom name, color, and icon • Open the link without any container • Cancel and close the link

This helps you maintain privacy and separate your browsing contexts by ensuring external links are opened in the appropriate container. Perfect for users who use Multi-Account Containers to separate work, personal, shopping, and other browsing activities.

Requires Firefox 140+.

Is Ask for Container Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Ask for Container requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Ask for Container may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
