Add support for Firefox container tabs #113

By default, trackmenot uses the default firefox tab to perform its searches.

For people who use Firefox container tabs, they are usually logged in to different accounts(google, bing, etc) in different container tabs. Would it be possible for trackmenot to enable searching using container tabs?

This would greatly mitigate the issue with signed in accounts in different container tabs.

As we know, TrackMeNot is fundamentally a different approach to online privacy to firefox containers - both Multi-container and temporary containers.

I think the implementation may be complex, as the plugin would need to track state between containers. And it may need to know when it's in a temporary container so it can clean up when the temporary tab closes. The container plugins have frequent discussion about whether it is useful to keep state in sync between different sessions / browser instances.

So, while this might be nice, I think there is a lot of thinking to get through before implementation can start.

I am a total novice in this kind of technology, but can we present an option to the user where he/she can select the desired container used by trackmenot?
