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 5 out of 5by morningside, 2 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, 6 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, 6 months agoworks very well when i have auto fill info or when i just want to have history without persistent cookies

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tucker, a year agoWorks great! It'd be cool if there was a shortcut to convert temporary containers into permanent ones for when you create a new account that you want in a separate container.

- Rated 3 out of 5by eriador, a year agoI love this addon and have been using it for 5 years now, but recently I noticed a weird issue: when I open a few links from my bookmarks in rapid succession, the tabs get stuck and I can't switch tabs anymore or do anything else. It doesn't happen when this addon is disabled.
