Feature request: assign a bookmark to a container and use it when clicking on the bookmark

Open klint opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

While we're at bookmarks, maybe you'd like to enhance your addon by implementing another long awaited feature ;) : assign a bookmark to a container (why not quite simply via a hashtag assigned as a tag to this bookmark, bearing the same name as the container, like #Work#), and open the bookmark in this container when clicking on it. Assuming Firefox has the needed webextension APIs of course. The user could still open the bookmark in the default container by using "Oepn" in the drop down menu. Thanks

"Clicking" on a bookmark is not something that cannot yet be intercepted by an extension. Associating bookmarks with specific container tabs requires support in Firefox, which is tracked by this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1213290

Even if it were possible to intercept the "click", then extension have no way to read tags: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225916

So unfortunately this feature cannot be implemented yet.

This would be a great feature. Thanks for your work.

I found this extension and was excited, as I thought it would be able to allow me to do this. Unfortunately not, I see. Still, being able to right-click and open in container is definitely better than opening and having to right-click the tab to open yet another tab to finally get there.

Using this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-container/ with a bookmark assigned with a URL like

ext+container:name=CONTAINER_NAME&url=https://google.com

Does the trick for me. I use the extension above for opening Firefox in a container from the terminal also (very handy).

This worked perfectly for me. Thank you!
