[Feature Request] Container listing, temporary pause(/open in current container) #148

Great work on this, really enjoy using it. Though there's two things I've encountered that made me open up about:preferences more often.

  1. To edit containers I either have to head to about:addons to change the "lifetime" or about:preferences#containers for names, colours etc. Is it possible to use the same list under about:addons (instead of the tiles, with options to edit names, colour etc) with the addition of the "lifetime" setting as additional column (as a toggle switch i.e.)? Breaking it into two sections of permanent and temporary containers would be a big help as well to keep everything tidy. Maybe with an additional link/button in the drop down menu.

  2. Certain pages like paypal need to be opened in the same container that they were called in. I've had to disable Containerise to pay on some pages as it would break the payment process. Same goes for pages like google docs if I don't want to be logged onto google in my main google container but a google docs container. I've had two ideas to solve this: 1) Give the option to pause Containerise for the current container or 2) set pages like paypal to "current container" (to always use the same container they were called in). 1) should work for both given examples while 2) may cause problems with the google docs example + opening paypal in a new tab would need an exception as well. Something like a pause button in the drop down menu would be great for these kinds of (maybe rather niche) occasions.

I'm on Firefox 85.0, 64bit, Win10, MAC+TC disabled. Default container is set to {domain} and "until last tab is closed". Match domains and keep old tabs both disabled.
