Is there a way to create a temporary container that will disappear as soon as I close the tab?
I know there are addons, but would be nice to have something native built in instead of having to trust an addon. Current method without addons that I know of is creating a container then deleting it, but that's not as convenient and pretty cumbersome.
Is there any about:config functions that might unlock what I want?
i created it as a simpler alternativ to quickly open a link, page or bookmark in a isolated context, that would get removed when the tab is closed.
Oh, and to maybe eleviate some of your worries about trusting, you can take a look at my other addons ( addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/13634657/ ) and find linked github repos for questions and support. - I do like to think that i’ve done enough to be seen as a trustworthy addon developer. 😁
With the recent lemmy.world incident I'm really glad for the addon. Seems like a good idea to sign in from a temporary container when I use fediverse sites on the desktop until stuff like this is fully ironed out.
I did try that, but found that it still remembered site info for accounts I was logged in until fully I closed everything related to the firefox browser. So containers has been easiest solution except for the process of manually creating and then deleting ones I didn't need anymore beyond the one session.
I had used Temporary Containers, but it hasn't been updated since February 8, 2021. Not actively monitored for security by Mozilla either so stopped using it. That addon was a perfect experience though for what I wanted.

Code doesn't rot, so you can use the extension. Is it not fit for purpose? Are you aware of any security issues? What is the scope of impact if there IS an issue?
Code DOES rot, because the dependency you rely on stop being updated, oh btw this thing has a critical cve now, this isn’t supported by the new addon API, …
@ImaginaryFox I see. That's reasonable. I also had Temporary Containers in my head, but didn't suggest it as you wanted a native solution. Didn't even notice how old last update was! Unfortunately from my view and additional research, could not find a solution for you. It would be nice to have a "Open in New Temporary Container for Tab", that is managed temporarily and automatically deleted after closing tab.
@igorlogius This is amazing! It is exactly what I asked for and does nothing else. I really should create a Mozilla account to give a rating. Thank you for the addon!
@ImaginaryFox Hey have a look at this addon. Edit after 3 seconds: Never mind.:D You saw it already.
