Context Plus

Context Plus

Now that we have contextual identities, wouldn't it be nice to move a tab from one identity to another, or from default to a container? I want to do that. Now I can.

What is Context Plus?
Context Plus is a Firefox add-on that allows you to move tabs between different contexts and containers. It provides an easy way to manage your tabs and organize them according to your preferred contexts.

Summary

Now that tabs can have distinct contexts, it would be nice to move a tab into a different context. This allows that to happen. Right click on a tab, and under 'Move to context', and you may select the container under which you'd like to replicate the current tab.

If you hold ctrl while selecting a context, the tab will be copied, but the original will not be deleted (Only available in Firefox 54+).

Note that this addon does not replicate the browser history of the tab to be replaced. It essentially deletes the old tab and creates a new one with the same URL, in the same place in the tab list, with the new context.

Also note that you must have privacy.userContext.enabled enabled in about:config in order for this to do you any good.
