=head1 DESCRIPTION

This utility opens a new firefox tab in a specific multi-account container. This
requires the Firefox Multi-Account Containers add-on, as well as another add-on
called "Open external links in a container",
L<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-container/>.

The way it works, because add-ons currently do not have hooks to the CLI, is via
a custom protocol handler. For example, if you want to open
L<http://www.example.com/> in a container called C<mycontainer>, you ask Firefox
to open this URL:

 ext+container:name=mycontainer&url=http://www.example.com/

B<Related topics>

In Google Chrome browser, profiles is what you would use to separate
sessions/cookies (and other things). Opening a URL in a specific profile from
the command-line is easier with Chrome:

 % google-chrome --profile-directory="PROFILEDIRNAME" URL

where C<PROFILEDIRNAME> is a directory name under the profiles directory,
typically C<~/.config/google-chrome/> on Unix. You can use the
L<list-chrome-profiles> (with option C<-l>) (from L<App::ChromeUtils>) to
list Chrome profiles.
