1473977 - Hide `Switch-to-tab` options when in a different container

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1287866

(Firefox :: Address Bar, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Nika Layzell [:nika] (ni? for response)]

I often am trying to open a second tab in a container, and type in, say, `twitter.com`. If I already have a twitter tab open, the awesomebar suggests I switch to it. Unfortunately this takes me to a different container.

It would be awesome if these suggestions were hidden when my current tab is in a container tab.

Switch-to-tab could probably use a rethink vis-a-vis containers.  Eric, Verdi, any thoughts?

IMO containers should behave as separate compartments.  Meaning switch to tab will only appear if the site is already open within the container the user is currently in.  Verdi, what do you think?

I have the exact opposite problem. With or without %, things in different containers don't show up. If nothing has changed since comment 0 wrt switch-to-tab, then there's something going wrong if some people have one behavior and some people have the opposite.
