Multi-account-containers: Per-container Home Page

[derbbre]

Would love to have separate home page options for each container. I could then define a Facebook container that takes me right there. Amazon container for shopping _just that site_, etc.

Something that may be easier and be beneficial to more use case would be to be able to link a container and a url in a bookmark.

I too want this feature. I think it would be better to have WebExt API so that we can put different new-tab extensions per container. Like, for a social container, a specialized new-tab extension which aggregates notifications and messages from all the social sites configured in that container. This would lead to immense possibility and configuration. The need for universal new-tab page which tries to fit every user's usecase but fails to do any of it properly would be highly diminished.

Putting it differently, create an API around containers treating it as firefox profiles and then seggregate almost all the resources (history/downloads, cookies, bookmarks, new-tab page, sync, etc.) And then make the API as efficient as possible(lke non-persistent on-demand extensions that don't eat CPU/RAM in the backgroound) and turn browser into platform. Much more customizable and freedom.

This feature is simple and useful. Thanks for suggesting it! I hope it gets added.

The behaviour I'm after is similar but not exactly the same as this request though I think it can be solved with it as well; I'd like my home page (bound to New Tab Tools extension if that matters) to always open in the default container. What happens now is if you're in container A and Go Home, the page (and all subsequent ones) opens in A, whereas if you're in B and Go Home it loads in B, etc.

I like many of the ideas here but my need is very simple. I would like to be at the specify which container a URI opens in. It's also important for that you are I'd be something I can bookmark.

@alsoeric You can do that. Open the URI in the container you want it to open in, click on the extension button and check Always open in .

[alsoeric]

@lookuh I apologize. My comment was garbled, probably by fatigue… What I should've said was

I frequently use the same service in different containers. I would like to be given the choice of a set of container options for a given URI. For example if I'm using Gmail, I have containers one, two, three which refer to different Google accounts. It would be great if when I go to Gmail, (or AWS, linode,...) I am asked to I want to open in the current container or in container one, two, three.

I would like the ability to group containers in a window by category or by container. For example all of my webmail clients belong in a single window together. Everything else should be organized in its own window by container. For example I have email clients with red, orange, yellow, purple containers. If I open a URL in a purple email container, the URL should be opened in a window containing all of the purple containers. I do this manually and it makes my life easier but it's a pain in the butt.

I would also love this feature. My use case is accessing the AWS console for different accounts. They have a URL like https://<account-id>.signin.aws.amazon.com/console but it immediately redirects to https://us-east-1.signin.aws.amazon.com/<other-stuff> with the account id pre-filled in a text box. So the feature to open a site in a specific tab doesn't work because us-east-1.signin.aws.amazon.com is the same for all the accounts.
