Firefox shortcut to open a particular account container

Firefox has multi-account containers that allow you to use the same website with several accounts, without having to use a different browser:

Problem: I always open tabs with CTRL-t because clicking takes too much time.

Question: How to open a new work-related tab with the fastest possible keyboard operation?

I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-container-shortcuts/

AFAIK, there are no firefox built-in shortcuts

According to the Multi-Account Container plugin page, you can use Ctrl + . to open the panel. Then simply press the down arrow (or tab) and enter.

Ctrl + . (period) keyboard shortcut is available to open the containers panel. You can then use tab and the enter keys to open new container tabs.

After Ctrl + . you can also use the numeric keys in order to select a container from the list. (Thanks cyberalex)

It doesn't seem to support opening a specific container with a designated shortcut.

@cyberalex Nice, I edited that into the answer. – Flimm – 2019-07-30T15:45:23.227

Note if you have the extension pinned to the overflow menu, the numbers don't work until you press Tab twice – wjandrea – 2020-02-27T14:45:43.670

I couldn't find a way to do this natively with Firefox, but this extension seems to be doing what you are asking about: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-container-shortcuts/

According to the description:

Provides nine easy keyboard shortcuts to open new tabs on different containers: Ctrl+Shift+[1-9] / or Alt+Shift+[1-9] on OSx. You can also open a new tab on the current container by pressing Ctrl (Cmd) + Alt + T
