Bind bookmarks to a specific container #1970

Good day. Is it possible to bind a bookmark to a specific type of container? So that this particular bookmark always opens in this container.

I've recently switched from Chrome to Firefox. Unfortunately Firefox's profile system is far from convenient enough for me to use it to split personal browsing from work browsing. I installed this extension a couple days ago and its working great so far however I would really like to be able to set certain bookmarks to open in a specific container automatically instead of having to right click the bookmark and open it in a specific container manually.

Ideally this option would be added to the bookmark's context menu or at the very least the bookmark's properties. But yes I believe this is a very needed feature and it would definitely be very, very useful to myself.

Thanks for the awesome work developers! I hope this feature request gets implemented!

I too am moving from Chrome, and prefer to keep my bookmarks separate per persona, so they don't even show in other "containers".

This would be a most welcome feature.

▶ 2017 issue #854, where there's a workaround.

@garfildalex6 please close this quadruplicate issue; there will remain cross-references in #854. Thank you.

This is possible, using this extension: Vance-Spears/container_bookmarks.

(There are other methods. And I've explored them, but this one's the cleanest so far)

I'm currently repurposing two extensions to achieve this functionality in a clean method.
I'll edit this post when I've something worthy.

Glad that works for you. I've finished my extension, which has this same functionality, but does it in a cleaner, more manageable, and far more secure fashion:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containmarks/

Feel free to give it a try, if you ever find that one to be lacking.

My problem with that one was: hijack-ability/lack of security, and difficulty of management (you couldn't just edit the bookmark anymore, it was encoded, and unbearably long)
