Those shortcuts are by default, I haven't had to tweak anything, and although they're not standard browser shortcuts, I prefer that option to a remapping of standards.
There's still no quick, default shortcut for this, but you can use this add-on to give you that functionality: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/easy-containe...
FWIW, the main add-on (Multi Account Containers) lets you do Cmd + Shift + {number} to open a new tab in a specific container -- but I admit that's still some cognitive overhead compared to just doing something like Cmd + Opt + T to open a tab in the same container as your current tab.
> - building on that, there was no option to right click and open a link in a different container.
This is absolutely in the main add-on now, and I use it regularly!
As others have said, you can right click -> open in container!
- there was no way to make CMD/CTRL+T open a new tab in the same container context as the one you were currently in. To me, this seems like an obvious UX flaw. If you’re browsing in a container, the actions you’re doing should keep you in that container unless you consciously want to switch.
- building on that, there was no option to right click and open a link in a different container. These two features would make container use feel far more natural, and likely make adoption much easier.
If those two features have been implemented, I will give Firefox and containers another go. If not, then I’d like to know what your workflow is and why it is a more natural UX.
Bonus points: make the first option configurable. Extra bonus points, for the second feature, have a right click option to open in a new container.
Edit: since I know I bookmarked it, I went and dug up the bug report for that first feature:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1245262
It’s 7 years old and still open. A quick glance shows that discussion is still ongoing today, so I assume it isn’t possible. Given how long it has been actively discussed, I don’t think it would be far fetched to say that my expected use case is not odd.
