restoring closed Tabs: Possible? #386

Closed Golddouble closed 4 years ago

Golddouble commented 4 years ago

Actual behavior

I open three Tabs using the addon "Temporary Contaniers" in three different "Temporary Contaniers" in three different Tabs. Then I close one Tab after the other. When all Tabs are closed, I make a right click and choose "restore the latest closed Tab" three times. -> But this way, the just closed Tabs can't be restored.

Expected behavior

I would like to have the possibility to restore closed Tabs, when this are "temporary container Tabs".

Notes

When I use the addon "First party isolation" instead of "Temporary Containers addon", then this works as wished. When I use the Addon "Multi Account Containers" without the addon "Temporary Containers", and open three Tabs in three different Containers, it also works as wished.

Is there a way to get the possibility of restore closed tabs also when using the addon "Temporary Containers"?

Thank you.

I had similar experience with the configuration I have used. It might be a bug/feature, but I was able to resolve with different configuration.

Do you use any rule with a wildcard only? Or any rule for your search page?

Cheers

Restoring tabs (Undo close tab) is possible as long as the TC itself wasn't deleted yet (this might actually be a Firefox bug, since history for deleted containers isn't deleted). By default this happens after 15minutes (general preference > "Delete no longer needed Temporary Containers"). I'll look into making that time more customizable in the future, including delaying it until Firefox restart (#363).

FPI and MAC both create and use permanent containers that are never deleted, and hence undo close tab always works with them.

Thank you. I now have changed the setting "delete Container" from "after the last tab in it closes" to "default (15min)". Now it works as wished.

Glad it works for you. Added custom removal delays to #363. Closing this as it seems resolved.
