Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs that preserve your privacy. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple identities or accounts simultaneously.

Thanks for building this addon! It's really great and I really love the functionality it provides. I have a small change that I'd like to make. It's motivated by my personal frustration with trying to figure out what is supposed to load in a specific container. The data storage system used is optimized for quick lookups on webpage load, which is the right choice. Instead of changing that, I decided instead to iterate through the full data storage and pick out the relevant items and trace them back to the container that they belong to for display. I suspect that with the size of the data storage, it's probably fine. Other than building a mapping in a different key of the local storage when adding a site to a container, I don't see any way to make this quicker on lookup. I'm not at all an extension developer, nor do I write a lot of html or css. I probably butchered the display portion of this, but it mostly works... I would not expect this patch to merge in this state, but I'd be interested in working on making it possible to merge. Maybe hiding this functionality behind an addon preference? If this functionality isn't desirable in the official addon, is there anything which would block me from submitting a fork to addons.mozilla.org? It's primarily because I'd like to use it on a release copy of firefox, and so I'd need it signed by addons. |
