Actual behavior

No way to add redirecting URL's.

• If you DON'T FORGET TO DO THIS EVERY TIME:
  
  
  
  • Only way at moment is to use right-click and choose a container.
  
  
  • Else you are screwed...
  
  

Expected behavior

To automatically open known redirect URI's we need a EASY way to add them to a container.
Sometimes you want to catch redirect links, to force them to always open in a certain container before the browser navigates to the destination of the link.
For this purpose we NEED a way to manually add URL's to a container of choice !

Steps to reproduce

1. Try to add a rule using the UI for links like https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=xxxxx&wt.mc_id=fuckmedead
2. Stuck because there is no way.
3. Write bug report on github, like i do now :wink:

Yes please, this would make the extension amazing!

I want to be able to add amazon iam-account login links to containers, but they are redirects, which means there is no moment to intercept it and add as "always open" in a selected container.

This would allow me to:

setup:

• create new AWS IAM user, store the login link (which has account ID in its url) and login credentials to LastPass
• create a new Firefox Container for that AWS account, add the login link as always open in this container

usage:

• open LastPass window, search for the AWS account I want to log into, click the item
• LastPass opens the login link
• Firefox Containers intercepts the link and opens it appropriate container (to prevent login conflicts)
• LastPass fills in login credentials
• I submit the login form and I'm in the correct AWS account

Hi @kendallcorner, can you assign this issue to me?

Further to this:
The settings of 'limit to designated sites' in NOT currently synced. The site list is, but it is needed to tick the box again on new instance of Firefox. It would be very useful to synchronize this as well.
And I support the idea of having option to import/export/ settings = managing it by file, which may then be on a repo and thus having the ability to declaratively set the state. I already have quite a number of containers, so having the option to manage it by script (json) and having it backed-up on git would be nice.

I believe this would be better served by being added to Firefox, on the Options page, rather than in the tiny extension pop-up menus. This way we can have a large text box that we can edit and copy/paste into. This would also make moving container assignment to new profiles a matter of copy/pasting.

Imagine you have 100+ containers. Then the matter of copy/pasting is not a pleasant option. On the other hand, one text file, beiing yaml, json or whatever, is easy enough.

And these two options dont exclude one another. It may be, that the window for copy pasting is just a gui for that text file.

For me, it would be extreamly pleasant to have just one descriptive text file and option to point extension to that file to load and set all containers, site lists included.

[B00ze64]

I agree with you. Never occurred to me someone would have that many containers lol, but of course Export/Import would be awesome. Right now settings are stored in IndexedDB. You can move that around (storage folder,) but because of ID's etc, it will probably not work in another profile. I still would appreciate a nice textbox, preferably in the options, where I can quickly add and remove stuff from within the browser, by just typing domains, and copy/paste stuff between containers etc. But if Import/Export uses yaml, json or whatnot that will do fine, we can edit that easily enough!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/ handles this pretty well, and you can use a regex string too.

[EDIT to fix url]

[xdhmoore]

@jeremymeyers I think your link got wrong-linked...

[jeremymeyers]

@xdhmoore my bad. fixed now.

I am struggling with this because of redirects... It would be awesome if we could do it, as well as allowing wildards such as *.aliexpress.com
