How do you open new, specific, container tabs with a keystroke then ?

As far as I can tell, the only way to open a specific container tab is to mousey-mouse-mouse to:

File > New Container Tab > Blah

Of course that use-case should be preserved, but it's woefully inefficient ... if you have a profile you do a lot of things under, you'd create a window and then (keystroke) (CMD)-t to get a new tab ...




It's not super-efficient, but it is keyboard accessible: press Ctrl+. to open the Container selection menu, then the down arrow to the Container you want, and Enter to open a new tab in that Container.


Actually, I see that you can press number keys to spawn the container tab you want in that pick-list.

So, you don't need to down-arrow and pick, you can just:

ctrl + . (ctrl + period)

then hit '1' or '2' ...


Well, today I learned - thanks!


Why would I want to do that?

I type in a URL and Firefox knows which container to open it in already.

I've been using Firefox with containers since it came out and I've never wanted to do that.
