Sticky Window Containers

Tabs open in the same container as the first tab in the window.

What is Sticky Window Containers?
'Sticky Window Containers' is a tailored Firefox extension that enhances browsing organization by making all tabs in a window stick to the same container as the first tab. If you frequently assign whole windows to specific activities like work or personal tasks, Sticky Window Containers will make your browsing experience smoother and more organized. Simply set the first tab in a new window to your desired container, and all subsequent tabs will follow the same container, creating a 'single container window'.

Summary

Firefox extension that makes all tabs in a window to "stick" to the same container that the first tab. Effectively making windows behave as "single container windows".

This is useful for people like me that assign a whole window to an activity (e.g. work or personal) and further move those windows to each own workspace.

The extensions achieves that by opening all tabs to the same container as the first tab in a window. To e.g. create work window, open a window and set the first tab to "work" container. All subsequent tabs will open in the same container.
