moallabbad / ff-container-homepages Goto Github PK

With this extension enabled, opening a URL which is set to open in container X by default will result in the new tab being redirected for the set home page of container X, instead of the URL. I would expect the set home page to only apply when opening the container in a new tab, and not override any specific URLs set to open in the container.

Firefox 95.0.2 on macOS 12.1.

Hello,

I could not figure out how to make the extension work until I checked in the code. There is a check that the tab title is "New Tab" which does not work when Firefox is set in another language than English.

I think I can understand why this check exists, but maybe it would be good to check with the localised name of a new tab. Anyway, I switched the browser language to English to make it works and it works perfectly, thanks.

Hi!

Thanks for creating and maintaining this plugin. It's really nice!

I've just experienced one slight issue: when I set a default for the No container option, then:

• new tabs open
• about a second passes
• then the URL is inserted, and the cursor remains on the left of the URL

This is a little inconvenient because most of the time, when I open a tab, I want to go to some known URL. To navigate to a new URL I now have to select-all, then remove the current URL, and then I can type and navigate to a new one.

Would it be possible for the extension to navigate to the home page without inserting a URL? Leaving it blank would be ideal, from my perspective 👍

I see that the same behavior applies for the container home pages. I think it would also be nice to do the same for these, if possible, but for my use-case the default is where I need to re-navigate most of the time.

Suggestion to make it even more useful and easy to use :
Possibility to put a bookmark folder in the place of the actual URL
So, the extension could put links / description automatically as they are found in that bookmark folder.
As bookmarks are easy to create and manage in Firefox, this could give the possibility to have an easy "container-page" with automatically the links to that container and that the extension could find as they are in the bookmark folder.

I've been using this extension and it has been fantastic so far, but the only issue I've had with it is I can't seem to find a way to customize the home page for when not using a container. Using extensions that would change the new tab/start page seems to override this extension.

Is there a way to change the default home page that I may be missing? If not, if it's possible could I suggest adding this as a feature for this extension?
