## Description

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 <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sticky-containers/" rel="nofollow">Sticky Containers</a> but better!

<strong>Overview</strong>
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.

<strong>Features</strong>
- 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 <code>Alt+T</code> 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.

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