Rated 5 out of 5
by Skarz, 8 years agoWhoa! This addon is a game changer. I never liked how Private Tabs works in Quantum, since it limits you to opening a private tab in a new window.
This addon corrects the ridiculous private tab changes, and makes opening a private tab (temporary container) even better!!
I have two questions for the developer.
1. Can you add an option so when a link is opened in a Temp Container it will switch to the tab immediately. Currently it appears it will just open the tab in the background, and you have to manually switch to the tab.
2. Is there a way I can add a mousegesture command to open a link in a Temp Container? For instance I use a mousegetrues addon named Foxy Gestures. I can configure a mousegesture so when I swipe up on a link, it will open that link in a new tab. Would it be possible to do the same with this addon, so I can add a mousegesture so when I swipe a link with a mousegesture it will open that link in a Temp Container?
Thanks for this addon. It's BRILLIANT!!!! 5 STARS AND MORE!!

posted 8 years agoGlad you like it!
1. You could configure Left Clicks (Global or per Website) to open in a new Temporary Container - that way they get focus.
2. In a future version there will be a way to activate "Isolation" (Global and per Website) which will open *all* Tabs and Links opened by Tabs in a new Temporary Container - even when opened programmatically; and that's what's happening with Foxy Gestures. With that feature you could achieve opening Links with gestures in new Temporary Containers. Another way would be to get in touch with the Foxy Gestures developer and ask him if he'd be willing to implement an API for other WebExtensions that allows to register to events inside the Foxy Gestures WebExtensions (that way I could get the information that the tab was opened by Foxy Gestures).
If that doesn't help, you need further assistance with configuring or you got some Feedback from the Foxy Gestures Developer then please open an Issue on GitHub (https://github.com/stoically/firefox-add-on-temporary-containers/issues).
Edit (18. Feb 2018):
Support for Foxy Gestures User Scripts are now available, you can find them here: https://github.com/stoically/firefox-add-on-temporary-containers/wiki/Foxy-Gestures-User-Scripts

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15196385, 2 months agoIt appears to be non-functional (tmp** is not displayed), so I switched to a similar add-on.

- Rated 5 out of 5by morningside, 5 months agoUnfortunately, the developer of this wonderful add-on passed away in 2023 (@stoically). Another user is now maintaining a fork which users can find under the name Temporary Containers Plus. Memory eternal!

- Rated 5 out of 5by adamhybel, 9 months agoTemporary Containers is a fundamental privacy enhancement for Firefox, automatically isolating your browsing activity to minimize tracking.
- Automatic Isolation: Opens websites, tabs, or clicks in new, disposable containers by default.
- Reduces Tracking: Significantly limits cross-site tracking by preventing cookies and site data from following you across different websites or sessions.
- Effortless Cleanup: Once the last tab in a temporary container is closed, the container and all its stored data (cookies, local storage) are automatically deleted, leaving minimal trace.
- Simple & Automatic: Installs and works seamlessly in the background. Excellent privacy protection right away with smart defaults, yet offers configuration for specific needs.
- Trustworthy & Open Source: Free, open-source, and dedicated to enhancing user privacy without compromises.
That's it! Keep it enabled for a significantly more private browsing experience. Temporary Containers provides a powerful layer of compartmentalization with virtually no user effort required. A huge thank you to the developer(s) for creating and maintaining this essential privacy tool. Highly recommend. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ricky, 9 months agoworks very well when i have auto fill info or when i just want to have history without persistent cookies
