Is there a way to create a temporary container that will disappear as soon as I close the tab? (kbin.social)

I know there are addons, but would be nice to have something native built in instead of having to trust an addon. Current method without addons that I know of is creating a container then deleting it, but that's not as convenient and pretty cumbersome.

Is there any about:config functions that might unlock what I want?

I had used Temporary Containers, but it hasn't been updated since February 8, 2021. Not actively monitored for security by Mozilla either so stopped using it. That addon was a perfect experience though for what I wanted.

Code doesn't rot, so you can use the extension. Is it not fit for purpose? Are you aware of any security issues? What is the scope of impact if there IS an issue?

Code DOES rot, because the dependency you rely on stop being updated, oh btw this thing has a critical cve now, this isn't supported by the new addon API, ...

Why do you think I asked about known security issues? 🙂
