Persitent Containers Firefox

Persitent Containers

Makes new tabs inherit the container of the currently active tab, just like Chromium browsers

Features & Capabilities

This extension makes containers persistent and sticky! New tabs inherit the container of the currently active tab, mimicking the default behavior in Google Chrome browser. This work similar to Sticky Containers but better!

Overview By default, Firefox opens all new tabs and bookmarks in the "No Container" state, requiring users to manually sort tabs into their respective containers. Persistent Containers intercepts the creation of new tabs and automatically routes them into the same container as the currently active tab.

Features

  • When opening bookmarks and external links, intercepts the new tab into the current tab's container.
  • Opens new tab/bookmarks right next to the current tab, by default.
  • Includes a toolbar options to toggle whether new tabs open immediately next to the current tab or at the end of the tab row.
  • Use shortcut Alt+T to open a new tab without container, right next to the current tab.
  • Automatically ignores Private Browsing windows, session restores, and new window creations to prevent browser conflicts and memory leaks.

Usage

  • Toolbar Menu: Click the extension icon in the Firefox toolbar to access the settings menu. Here you can toggle the "Open next to current tab" preference.
  • Keyboard Commands:
    • Ctrl+T: Open a new tab with current container. (by default)
    • Alt+T: Open a new tab without container. (This shortcut can be customized in Firefox's Add-on settings).

Is Persitent Containers 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.

Persitent Containers requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
