Sticky Window Containers is a Firefox extension designed to simplify your browsing experience by ensuring all tabs within the same window share the same container as the first tab opened. This functionality allows users to effectively assign each browser window to a specific activity or context, such as work or personal use, by leveraging Firefox's container tabs feature.

By sticking all tabs in a window to a single container, this extension enhances productivity and organization, especially when combined with window management and workspace tools. Users can easily create a work window by opening a new window, setting the first tab to their "work" container, and rest assured that all additional tabs opened in that window will adhere to the same container, maintaining separation of browsing contexts seamlessly.

User reviews

Sticky Window Containers is praised for enhancing tab organization by assigning tabs to containers based on the first tab, aiding workflows such as project management. Users note quirks including delayed container assignment on new tabs, interference from pinned tabs, and some compatibility issues with other extensions. Initial confusion about its operation is common, but many find it useful once understood. Some bugs have been fixed after user feedback. Overall, it is a valuable add-on for managing separate browsing contexts in Firefox windows.

Pros

Effectively assigns tabs to containers based on the first tab in the window, aiding in organization.
Helps separate workspaces, especially useful for project management and separating personal/school activities.
Generally works well after initial understanding of its behavior, including handling of pinned tabs.
Users appreciate the concept and find it useful once minor quirks are understood.
Improved usability after fixes (e.g., GitHub pull requests) address initial flaws.

Cons

Does not assign containers to newly created tabs until they navigate to a webpage, which can confuse some users.
Pinned tabs can interfere with container assignment; the add-on treats the leftmost pinned tab as the first tab, which may cause unexpected behavior.
Conflicts with certain tab management extensions like Auto Tab Discard can cause issues such as leaving blank tabs upon waking discarded tabs.
Initial issues prevented opening default Firefox pages like settings or add-on manager when the first tab was a container, though this was addressed.
Multiple users initially thought the add-on was non-functional due to lack of clear feedback or understanding of its behavior.
