## Description

<strong>Features</strong>
<ul><li>Set a different home URL per container (plus one for "No container / Default").
  Click the toolbar button, or press <strong>Alt+Shift+Home</strong>, to load that
  container's home URL in the current tab.</li><li>Set up to 9 app slot URLs per container. Press <strong>Alt+Shift+1</strong> through
  <strong>Alt+Shift+9</strong> to switch to that slot's tab — scoped to whichever
  container is currently active — or open it in a new tab if it isn't
  already open. If the tab lives in another window, that window is raised
  too.</li><li>Slots remember the exact tab they last switched to (not just a URL
  pattern), so navigating around inside an app (e.g. different Slack
  channels or Gmail threads) doesn't break the binding. If that tab is
  closed or the browser restarts, the next press falls back to matching by
  the slot URL's origin, or opens a fresh tab if nothing matches.</li><li>Export your configured home URLs and slots to a JSON file, and import them
  back in (on this device or another). Importing replaces the current
  configuration after a confirmation prompt.</li><li>Press <strong>Alt+Shift+0</strong> to group and sort the tabs in the current window:
  one native tab group per container (plus a "No Container" group), each
  with its configured slot tabs sorted to the front in slot order.
  (Not available on Firefox for Android.)</li><li>Press <strong>Alt+PageUp</strong> / <strong>Alt+PageDown</strong> to switch to the first
  tab of the previous or next tab group, wrapping around at either end.
  Works whether or not the current tab is itself in a group.</li><li>Press <strong>Ctrl+Shift+Space</strong> to open a new tab next to the current one, in the
  same container and joined to the current tab's group (if it's in one).</li><li>Optionally (off by default — enable it on the options page), automatically
  add every new tab to its container's tab group in the current window as
  soon as it's created, joining an existing group or creating one if none
  exists yet. Pinned tabs are left alone.</li></ul>
<strong>Permissions</strong>
<ul><li><code>activeTab</code> — read the current tab's container and navigate it to
  the configured URL.</li><li><code>tabs</code> — find a slot's existing tab (by remembered id, or by URL as a
  fallback) across all of a container's tabs, and re-focus its window.</li><li><code>cookies</code> — required by Firefox to open a new tab in a specific container
  (<code>tabs.create</code> with <code>cookieStoreId</code>) when a slot's tab isn't already open.</li><li><code>contextualIdentities</code> — list your Firefox containers on the options page.</li><li><code>storage</code> — save your configured URLs locally, and remember which tab
  each slot last switched to for the current browser session.</li><li><code>tabGroups</code> — create, title, color, and reorder native tab groups for the
  group-and-sort command. Not available on Firefox for Android; the command
  no-ops there.</li></ul>
