## Description

This extension helps you quickly clean up Firefox containers (contextual identities) by matching their names against a user-defined regular expression pattern.

You can choose to remove only inactive containers (those without open tabs) or include active ones as well. This is perfect for managing temporary, test, or work containers by simply specifying a regex, like ^tmp.* or ^work-.

Features:

<code>Use powerful regular expressions to match container names

Optionally exclude containers with open tabs to avoid closing active work

Simple and clean popup interface for quick container management

Lightweight and focused — no unnecessary permissions or bloat
</code>

Keep your Firefox containers organized and clutter-free with minimal effort!
