## Description

Firefox extension to automatically open websites in a container:
- Maps multiple domains and subdomain to a container so it's opened automatically.
- Can take into account not only domains itself but the container the request is made from.
- Default container that might be used if no rule matches the URL (domain). Can be persistent or temporary (removed when the last tab using the default container is closed).
- Can be set up using simple CSV-like config to easy configuration and backing up.

!!! NOTE !!! It's a fork of a great extension containerise (with some small fixes and additions). All the fame and glory goes to its author 'kintesh'. The original extension is not maintained anymore hence this extension.
