Hide counter / Container Number

[maverick74]

Is it possible to create an option to hide the container number?

e.g.: I've set the container name from "tmp" to "" in order to hide it.

can the same (or similar) be done to hide the number?

the thing is that i don't care about which container i'm in. In fact, even the container icon could be hide, if you ask me... but i think the icon is only possible from userChrome.css...

The container number is also a way to check whether Isolation worked or not - hence why I didn't implement a hide number option. However, if #228 gets implemented, it could always store/show, say, the last 20 isolations or something, and so there would be a convient way to check if isolation worked, even with container number hidden.

@stoically about the container's icon, there's nothing to do about it except in userChrome.css, right?

or could it be hidden as well?

[stoically]

Yeah, at least I'm not aware of a way to do that other than with the userChrome.css

Something I noticed: Firefox throws an error when trying to create a container with an empty name (and the Add button stays inactive on about:preferences#containers). So completely blank name isn't possible. However, creating with container name (one whitespace) is possible, hah.

Added in v1.4beta1.

Hi @stoically,

How do i hide it (where's the option)?

[stoically]

@maverick74 hey. You'd have to install the beta version, its not in the stable version yet. There you find it in the preferences under General > Container Number > Hide number

[maverick74]

found it!

I had the stable version and tryied to update to the beta and assumed it did update, but it somehow did not install.

I had to download the xpi, remove the stable and install the beta to get it.

Working fine now, Thanks @stoically

Yeah, I hit that problem as well, seems like some kind of Firefox bug. For me it worked to disable the Add-on and then install the xpi. Glad it works now for you!
