I was reading your thread whilst on holiday and puzzling over the thread, thanks for the follow up and sorry for the delay in responding (I’m going to do more of that here).
So some of you use-case can be solved by a little mock up extension I wrote:
This solves:
Easy access to opening all of your containers
Quick visibility of tab numbers
Quick access to jump, sort and close tabs
Moving tabs, opens the container section it belongs in and scrolls the selected tab into view
This doesn’t solve:
Moving a tab into a different container
Tiling of windows, probably out of scope for this addon
@jkingston I like how that looks! Only real request I might make is for the option to have more than one dropdown open at a time.
I usually have two semi-related container types open in the same window (work and school mostly, since they are both tech related for me) that I switch between often or need quick access to. A lot of times content from one container applies to the other (something I learned from class, or something I learn for work) and being able to view all of the tabs at the same time would be cool.
Either way, just a random request. I think it looks awesome anyway!
I’ll open a bug for that, personally I would prefer that to be an option just as I find it super convenient and actually more “container like” to be in one mode or the other.
Is the Sea Containers extension getting things from Containers, without an update to Sea Containers, before Containers gets those things from Test Pilot?
I don’t see the single tab icon (very similar to the Synced tabs icon) in the Containers menu.
Maybe because there’s no Default container in the Containers menu.

Sea Containers always had the notion of “default” tabs as it is supposed to be a tab replacement somewhat. I added a new icon in the past release. The icon is used in various places in Firefox to represent tabs.
Test Pilot Containers fixed how icons where stored so it has fixed extensions that relied on colour and icons.
Test Pilot Containers also may add interface specific to “Default” for when assigning a tab.
