1288504 - Customize about:newtab per Container

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Security, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Tanvi Vyas[:tanvi]]

In about:newtab, show me history from the specific container I'm in, rather than history from other containers.  This will help prevent me from making a mistake and visiting the wrong site in the wrong container.

Potentially even add some text to the about:newtab page that talks about containers or links to containers help pages.  Ex: here's an old UI mockup - https://wiki.mozilla.org/File:Containers-start-page.png.  I'm not proposing we do this, but we can integrate some text into the existing about:newtab page.  Bram, can you make a new mockup?

Here, and above, are simple examples of how the new tab page can have different headings depending on the container it’s currently in.

Hello,
I'm the author of the duplicated bug (#1335706)
now, when click on the '+' to open a new tab or use "new tab" keyboard shortcut, it open a new tab wit no container. 
I'll find handy that have this page page can display pinned site already associated with it's container perhaps using visual hints (container name + color) of the associated container .
