    True, but I use keyboard shortcut cmd T and I would have to learn a new shortcut for this. Cmd T followed by typing url pops up a page where I choose container.

    Moreover, I don’t really have tab bar enabled as I use container tabs addon. I don’t really have the (+) button to create new tab.


  • I had a similar problem and got around this by using couple of add-ons.

    • always use containers or something similarly named
    • container tab sidebar, basically similar to tree style tabs with better container handling, although not an actual tree of tabs

    I have three containers, work, personal and default. The first addon forces me to choose which container to open to and second let’s me view which tab in which container I have opened.

    For the websites which I know I am going to always open in a specific container, I use Firefox’s built in mechanism to force open in specific containers, say JIRA for work. For websites where it is ambiguous, eg gmail for work and personal use, I let the addon handle it. It is convenient enough, as I usually type the URL, but even if you use mouse, the container selection is right there on center of screen.





  • I had a few machines lying around and I took it too far I guess.

    I use Kubernetes (K3s) for bunch of services and a very small mini PC as a jump host. I use wake on lan to bring up my cluster on demand for the duration I need it and then shut it down to save power.

    The mini PC has bunch of containers running including ‘blocky’ which basically is a software pi-hole without the pi.

    Before all this though I used to use proxmox and let me tell you containers are the way to go. It has been super easy to set things up and in general way easier to manage everything.

    I use ansible for basically automating everything.

    I don’t know how useful this is for you but here you go. https://github.com/uknth/homelab
