Apply (container on window) vs Apply (container)? #131

Open e-t-l opened 3 years ago

e-t-l commented 3 years ago

What is the difference between the Apply (container on window) and Apply (container) buttons? I can't find it anywhere in the documentation...

I'm assuming one applies to current active tab container and the other one for all open containers in the widow

@ray-lothian is there an official explanation of this? I'm on Firefox, so I see a brown button that says "Consider containers," and then next to that is "Apply (container on window)" and "Apply (container)." I am just trying to select a user agent and apply it to the current subdomain. Can this be done through the pop-up? (Currently I've needed to go to the Options page and add each subdomain manually under Whitelist, which is a pain).

If I press the "Consider Containers" button, it disappears, but no other options change, and it seems like there's no option to undo the action of considering containers, except to completely uninstall and reinstall the extension. Could you possibly add documentation to the FAQ explaining what these buttons actually do, and how to apply useragent settings to domains/subdomains regardless of container?

@Sada-Mio do you know if "container" is being used here to refer to Firefox Multi-Account Containers, or something else?
