User reviews
I found a bug:
this extension thinks that about:addons page is container. I have disabled option to prompt to open new pages in container. So on all sites it opens pages in normal tabs and doesn't ask anything, if that site from where you opened new links - is not in any container. But there is a bug, that extension thinks that firefox internal pages are containers. So I would like not to be prompted to open page in container if I open "Reviews" link from my firefox extension description.
Keep up, it's a really cool idea!
