## Description

No Trace Containers lets you mark specific Firefox Multi-Account Containers as "no history" — pages opened in those containers are deleted from your browsing history automatically, so they never show up in awesomebar suggestions, the History panel, or sync.
Optional per-container settings:
  • Wipe cookies on tab close — kill the session the moment you close the tab.
  • Wipe site data on tab close — flush localStorage and cache for that origin.
Useful for: research tabs, throwaway logins, work vs. personal separation, anything you don't want polluting your history or autocomplete.

Permissions are used strictly locally:
  • history — to delete entries created in marked containers.
  • cookies / tabs / webNavigation — to detect container tabs and clear their data on close.
  • &lt;all_urls&gt; — required to act on any site opened in a marked container.

The extension makes zero network requests. Source code: <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/08b22af6f1775688f59fab74bcc3075ddd5b5299d5d60e6aed57136c89cfbf4e/https%3A//github.com/ziki17/no-trace-containers" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ziki17/no-trace-containers</a>
