Feature request: don't replace the existing tab when changing containers #14

Closed parkerault closed 6 years ago

parkerault commented 6 years ago

When a navigation event triggers a container change, the current tab is replaced with a new one and window.history is lost. This is kind of frustrating when I'm opening links from a search results page and I can't go back. Is it possible to always open a new tab if the new location is assigned to a different container?

Changing the container of a existing tab is not yet possible. A possible workaround might be to open a completely new tab and leave the old one open when a requests triggers a container change (multi-account containers does that too).

I didn't phrase it clearly, but that's what I was trying to say in the last sentence of my previous post. I think keeping the old tab open is vastly better UX.

Released with 2.3.0

It seems this is happening for me now. I'm using version 3.0.1, and when I navigate to a container-defined URL, a new tab closes and replaces the current one. Using FF 66.0.3, win8.1 x64, tested with all other add-ons disabled.

Edit: Sometimes it replaces the current tab and opens a duplicate as well. I can't seem to pin it down.

I can confirm that the issue persists, I start searching, click on a website assigned to a container, now I cannot press the back button. The official container extension does not have the problem.

It's happening to me too. Can you re-open this issue @kintesh?

Hello, I can confirm that the issue persists, is there any workaround here :smiley: ?
