Multi-Account Containers enhancement for link handling

[szx]

Hello,

I have a suggestion for the Multi-Account Containers addon that I think could be useful:

If a site is opened outside its assigned container (e.g. Personal), when you click on a link that leads to the same site (domain), the addon should just open it in the same container (or No Container) instead of asking to open it in the assigned container.

For example, if you assign github.com to Personal, and you open a github.com link outisde the Personal container, e.g. without a container, when you click on a link on that page it should just go ahead and open in the same container. This is different from when you insert a URL into the address bar or click a bookmark, where the behavior would stay the same as before.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Do you really mean "click" or Ctrl/Cmd-Click to open in a new tab?
Because just clicking already does remain in the same tab.

For example I open github.com without a container, then click on a link on the github site and I'm not asked if I want to stay or change containers … it just opens the link in the same context.

@viktor-crOh, I didn't realize it already does that for regular clicks. I usually use Cmd-Click or Middle click, so that's what I meant. The issue is also reproducible with target=_blank links.
