firefox-container - Firefox wrapper to open URL's in a specific container
This document describes version 0.015 of firefox-container (from Perl distribution App-FirefoxMultiAccountContainersUtils), released on 2022-10-04.
Use like you would use firefox command:
% FIREFOX_CONTAINER=mycontainer firefox-container [options] <URL>...
Or set it as your BROWSER:
% export BROWSER=firefox-container
then use it with commands that open URL's in browser, e.g. this-repo-on-github:
% FIREFOX_CONTAINER=mycontainer this-repo-on-github
This is a simple wrapper for firefox. If the environment variable "FIREFOX_CONTAINER" is defined, will open using open-firefox-container. Otherwise, will simply exec firefox.
firefox
No other options are parsed by this wrapper. All will be passed to firefox.
Set the name of container to open URL's in.
Overides by "FIREFOX_CONTAINER_ENV".
Set the name of environment variable to replace the default "FIREFOX_CONTAINER". Why would one want to do this? Because one will be able to use a shorter name for "FIREFOX_CONTAINER". So instead of this:
% FIREFOX_CONTAINER=mycontainer1 firefox-container ... % FIREFOX_CONTAINER=mycontainer2 other-command ...
you can instead use this:
% export FIREFOX_CONTAINER_ENV=FC % FC=mycontainer1 firefox-container ... % FC=mycontainer2 other-command ...
Overidden by "FIREFOX_CONTAINER".

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
