Hi,

I have been setting up the Multi-Account Containers, and I find them incredibly useful. I have been putting all of my work sites in my work container, my school sites in my school container, etc. However, I can't seem to find a way to change my default download location based on what container I am in. For example, I would like to be able to download work files to "work downloads", personal files to "personal downloads", and school files to "school downloads". I've been scouring the different settings and config, but can't find any way to do this. Is there any way to do this? If not, are there any addons that add this functionality? If not for either of those questions, could someone with some coding knowledge point me in the right direction in terms of how I'd set something like this up? I can use some basic php, html/css/javascript, VBS, and batch script language if anyone thinks there's a way to set it up using any of those.

Thank you all for your help!

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager that works for you.

Thank you for your suggestion. I did try to find one, but sadly I can't seem to find one that lets you change download location based on the container you are in. If anyone who sees this thread knows of one, feel free to let me know! It'd be much appreciated.

Nice idea! You can ask developers here about adding this feature to the addon.
