  • Is "Firefox will: Never remember history" in the Firefox Preferences/Options under "Privacy & Security > History" selected? Yes/No: No

  • Can you see a grayed out but ticked Checkbox with the description "Enable Container Tabs" in the Firefox Preferences/Options under "Tabs"? Yes/No: Yes

Actual behavior

Nothing happens

Expected behavior

Have the ability to assign sites/origins to the default container.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to any site in the default container
  2. Select "Always open in"
  3. Nothing happens

Notes

I tried to assign https://accounts.firefox.com/ to the default container, but alas it does not work.

This behavior still exists on Firefox 63.0 with Container version 6.0.0 on Linux Mint. My personal gmail has it's own container, but often, I would prefer other authenticated sites (ie Github) to open in the default.

With Containerise addon you might be able to do what you whant:

Same issue on latest stable build (64.0.2)

I'm in the exact same situation as @nocode99. I want my work mail in a container but I'd like GitHub to open in the default container. I was able to configure this using Containerise but it's a bit messy (it opens the tab in a work container first, Containerise quickly closes the tab and opens a new one in the default container) and I'd rather not install another plugin that has this much access.

I can confirm that the "Always open in Default" checkbox is disabled. The checkbox only becomes available if you're on a non-Default container.

I usually don't like plus-one comments, but I agree with this thread. I found it surprising that the tickbox was disabled. I made my setup with the default plus a work container, and the setup isn't nearly as powerful if I can't fix certain sites to the default container.

Of course, I could replace the default container with a "personal" container of some sort. However, why is that necessary? That would also color 90% of my tabs, which I'd like to avoid if possible.

It's frustrating that it isn't native in the extension, but Containerise as noted above seems to work for me here.

Bump

Just like people above and in the other issues I have personal and work Gmail accounts, but I want all GitHub links to be opened in the Default container. I鈥檇 really love to see this option enabled.

This seems like a bug to me, I'm curious why it's marked as an enhancement.
