Rule depending on bookmarks #117

Closed xrad closed 4 years ago

xrad commented 4 years ago

I'm currently moving from Chrome to FF. To (kind-of) match Chrome/Google profiles, I use FF containers. I have also imported bookmarks from different Chrome/Google profiles into different bookmark hierarchies. Can (could?) Containerise open a URL in a specific Container based on the location in the bookmarks tree? What about duplicate entries? Or am I using all this the wrong way?

Hi, that isn't how Containerise works. I'm not against it, but I'm not entirely sure how it would work.

Could you explain why you'd like it to work this way?

Yeah I'm not sure either. :) Maybe I'm just too much focused on the bookmarks side of things.

Previously I've been using Chrome with different Google profiles. Each profile ran in a different window. Each had it's own set of bookmarks. So my thinking was to simply to try tying bookmarks to FF containers.

I've played around a bit more now and I now use the Sticky Window Containers Add-On which more or less emulates my previous setup - I'm used to having containers clearly seperated via different windows so that works quite well for me. The main visible difference to my previous setup is now that I see all bookmarks in all windows. Previously I only saw the per-profile bookmarks. But I guess I can live with this.

So with this setup I suppose I don't really need Containerise and the feature I asked for.
