FUNCTIONS
firefox_container
Usage:
firefox_container(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]
CLI to open URL in a new Firefox tab, in a specific multi-account
container.
Examples:
* Example #1:
firefox_container(
container => "mycontainer",
urls => ["www.example.com", "www.example.com/url2"]
);
This utility opens a new firefox tab in a specific multi-account
container. This requires the Firefox Multi-Account Container, as well as
another container called "Open external links in a container",
.
The way it works, because add-on currently does not have hooks to the
CLI, is via a custom protocol handler. For example, if you want to open
C in a container called "mycontainer", you ask
Firefox to open this URL:
ext+container:name=mycontainer&url=http://www.example.com/

This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* container* => *str*
* profile => *firefox::local_profile_name*
* urls* => *array[str]*
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is
a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third
element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta)
is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
information.
Return value: (any)
firefox_mua_list_containers
Usage:
firefox_mua_list_containers(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]
Sort Firefox Multi-Account Containers add-on's containers.
At the time of this writing, the UI does not provide a way to sort the
containers. Thus this utility.

firefox_mua_modify_containers
Usage:

firefox_mua_modify_containers(
profile => "myprofile",
code => "return 0 if \$_->{icon} eq \"cart\" || \$_->{name} =~ /temp/i; \$_"
);
* Delete all containers (remove -n to actually delete it):
firefox_mua_modify_containers( profile => "myprofile", code => 0);
* Change all icons to "dollar" and all colors to "red":
firefox_mua_modify_containers(
profile => "myprofile",
code => "\$_->{icon} = \"dollar\"; \$_->{color} = \"red\"; \$_"
);
This utility lets you modify the identity records in "containers.json"
