## Description

Sticky Containers is a Firefox add-on designed to improve your multi-account container experience. It ensures that new tabs and windows automatically open in the same container as the current tab, preventing accidental cross-container browsing. Additionally, when links are opened from external programs like mail clients, Sticky Containers directs them to open within the container of the active window, maintaining consistent container usage. This extension helps keep your browsing sessions organized and secure by adhering strictly to container boundaries, making it easier to manage different accounts or browsing contexts without confusion.
