NAME

firefox-container - Firefox wrapper to open URL's in a specific container

VERSION

This document describes version 0.018 of firefox-container (from Perl distribution App-FirefoxMultiAccountContainersUtils), released on 2024-10-01.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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.

Note that open-firefox-container has a different set of options than firefox, for example to pass the --new-window option to firefox with open-firefox-container:

% FIREFOX_CONTAINER=mycontainer firefox-container -b --new-window www.example.com

OPTIONS

No other options are parsed by this wrapper. All will be passed to firefox.

ENVIRONMENT

FIREFOX_CONTAINER

Set the name of container to open URL's in.

Overides by "FIREFOX_CONTAINER_ENV".

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".

CONTRIBUTING

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.
