Firefox can have container tabs enabled, and an extension exists that will allow routing urls with a specific format into these containers [Open External links in a container](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/open-url-in-container/). If configured in a `handler`, rewrite the outgoing URL into this format and open that. This has an improvement over using a rewrite rule, in that the config can be kept DRY, and container selection logic is left to the handler. Example configuration: ```js handlers: [ { // Some work site match: "https://some-site.com/*", browser: { name: "Firefox", container: "Work", }, }, ], ```

This change implements logic so if configured in a
handler, the outgoing URL is converted into this format when the browser is called.This has an improvement over using a rewrite rule, in that the config can be kept DRY, and container selection logic is left to the handler. An example of such a rewrite rule implementation is here: #211 (comment).
