Add "File -> New Container window" feature #2449

Open bravecrayon opened 1 year ago

bravecrayon commented 1 year ago

Before submitting a bug report

Step to reproduce

  1. Click File menu
  2. Choose "New Container tab" instead
  3. Choose specific container in fly-out
  4. Drag tab out of the tab bar to create new window.

Actual behavior

There is no ability to create a new window with tab in a specific container directly, thus need to do a few extra steps.

Expected behavior

Expected to find "New Container window" in the File menu with a fly-out menu for choosing a container. Upon selecting a container from this fly-out menu, a new window is created with a tab in the selected container.

Additional informations

Since the menubar is rendered by Firefox itself, it'd be best to file a bug report at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&component=Menus

@dannycolin I might not have been clear. I believe the Multi-site Containers extension adds a menu item for "New Container tab" and my feature request is for adding a "New Container window" menu item that functions similiarly. CleanShot 2022-11-21 at 08 56 10@2x

That's exactly the menu I'm talking about. Lots of people are confused by this but Containers are a built-in feature in Firefox and Multi-Account Containers only enhances it. However, it can't change menus like this one.

Yeah, I guess that is confusing. I thought "New Container tab" started showing up only after I installed the extension, but if I uninstall it that menu item remains.
