Wondering what Containers or Temporary Containers are? Here's a compact article explaining it.
Open Tabs in new Temporary Containers when:
- Clicking the "Temporary Containers"-Icon
- Pressing the Alt+C Shortcut
- Clicking on "Open Link in New Temporary Container Tab" in the RightClick ContextMenu on a Link
- MiddleMouse Click on a Link*
- Ctrl/Cmd+LeftMouse Click on a Link*
* Configurable in the Preferences Globally and per Website
With "Automatic Mode" active (default):
- Clicking the "New Tab"-Icon
- Clicking "New Tab" or "New Window" in the Browser Menu
- Pressing the Ctrl+T or Ctrl+N Shortcut
- An external Program opens a Link in the Browser
Never open Tabs in new Temporary Containers when:
- Regular click on a Link on a Website
- Website redirects or opens new Tab itself
- Clicking "Open Link in New $Container Tab" in the RightClick ContextMenu on a Link
Open Tabs in "No Container":
- Pressing Alt+N (Tab) or Shift+Alt+C (Window)
- RightClick ContextMenu on a Link "Open Link in New Container Tab" > "No Container"

Works together with Multi-Account Containers.
The automatically created Temporary Containers get removed 0.5 seconds after the Last Tab in a given Temporary Container closes. Sometimes removing the Temporary Container doesn't work immediately - but don't worry, not needed Temporary Containers will automatically get removed eventually!
- Disabled in "Private Windows" since Firefox doesn't support it
- Android Support is not possible since Firefox doesn't support it
- Mouse Clicks:
- In Combination with Multi-Account Containers: Opening the same link multiple times in quick succession when it's set to "Always open in $Container" will probably not work as expected.
- Doesn't work on addons.mozilla.org (Firefox prevents content scripts there). If you assign addons.mozilla.org to "Always open in" with Multi-Account Containers you will see unexpected behavior since Add-ons, including Multi-Account Containers, are not allowed to block requests to addons.mozilla.org.
- In Automatic Mode:
- Opening a "New Window" or starting Firefox, only opens a Temporary Container if you don't set the Preference "When Firefox starts" to "Show a blank page". Although as soon as you start navigating to a http(s) Website it will convert the Tab to a Temporary Container one.
- "No Container" Alt+N (Tab) and Shift+Alt+C (Window) must open about:blank due to Firefox API limitations and thus the addressbar can't get focus when opening a new "No Container" Tab
- With the Firefox Preference "Show your windows and tabs from last time" active, if you have multiple Windows and want the Tabs to correctly restore in its Temporary Container, you have to close the windows in a certain way:
- Multiple normal and/or private windows: You have to close using the Browser Menu and then click "Quit"
- One normal window and a private window: Either use the Browser Menu and click "Quit" (private windows don't get restored from Firefox) or first close the Private Window and then the normal window.
There's a discussion about Moving between containers and I think that this Add-on enhances privacy by providing Temporary/Throw-away/Disposable Containers whenever possible, while not breaking normal navigation or e.g. OAuth redirects on a given Website.
The included SemanticUI and its dependency jQuery are only used to style the Preferences/Options Page.
