Two tabs open for "Always Open This Site in..."

[morepurplemorebetter]

Great add-on for Firefox, especially after the sad news about Temporary Containers.

The only issue that I'm having it that when I open a website, that has a default container set, in a new tab (middle-mouse click or ALT+ENTER), two tabs are opened. Both these new tabs are for the same container.

The work-around is to simply not use the middle mouse button or ALT+ENTER, but then the new tab doesn't appear at the end of all the open tabs but next to the current tab. Not a big inconvenience, but figured I would comment here for others to find the workaround (and hope for a fix).

Now off to retrain my muscle memory ;)

Adding to this that there are still a couple of scenarios that this results in duplicate tabs that can't be avoided:

1. If the current selected tab is in the same container as the bookmark would open into, then it is needed to use CTRL-click (or middle mouse click) to open the bookmark in a new tab. Resulting in the bookmark opening twice if set to "Always open in".
2. When using a shortcut from outside Firefox (e.g. from Explorer) and if the website linked to is set to "Always open in".

Hence, it would be nice if this add-on could check if the site isn't already being opened in a container prior to assigning it a new container.

This looks promising, thanks @dvngn for working on this.

Unfortunately, I just updated to v1.3.0 and the behaviour hasn't changed for me. Two tabs open whenever I open an URL that has been set to "Always open in".

@morepurplemorebetter

Could you list all of the extensions used in your browser? Thanks.

[morepurplemorebetter]

I have just tested this after turning off all my extensions except tabContainer and Multi-Account Containers and restarting Firefox.

I'm using:

• tabContainer v1.3.0
• Firefox Multi-Account Containers v8.1.3
• Firefox v119.0.1 (64-bit)
• Windows 11 Pro 23H2

 

Other extensions I normally have active (but I doubt this is relevant, because the issue persists with these turned off):

• Bitwarden
• Tampermonkey
• DeepL Translate Search Plugin
• uBlock Origin
• Tampermonkey

I have 1.3.0, but still seem to have this issue in combination with "always open in" option from multi account containers....

This issue is also still appearing for me on v1.3.0.

Sometimes when I open a shortcut it works, but sometimes two tabs still open.
When I Ctrl+Click a link for a site that is set to "always open in", it always opens two tabs.
