Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

by Anonymous User, 5 years agoMonths later, this remains an incredible tool that is hamstrung by severe bugs.
For example: you can't sync containers between Windows and Linux. You can sync containers created in Firefox running on Linux with other Linux installations, and you can sync containers created in Firefox running on Windows with other Windows installations. But sync across OSes, and you'll wind up with two independent sets of containers synced to the same account.
Another example: the extension frequently spams dozens if not hundreds of additional containers. If my list looks like "Facebook / Google / Shopping", then one day I'll have "Facebook / Facebook / Google / Facebook / Google / Facebook / Facebook / Facebook / Facebook / Facebook / Shopping / Facebook / Google / Google / Google / etc". Because there's no way to clear out your sync data, the only way to fix this is to completely delete and re-create your Firefox sync account or trigger a password reset.
Another example: When you win a badge ("hooray! You just opened 100 tabs!"), it stops using containers. Eventually you'll click on the extension to find out why the heck it stopped working. That's when you find out that alerting you to whatever stupid "award" you've won is more important than actually doing the one job it has.
This has the potential to be a game changer, but it's just a half-baked pile of garbage.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19469689, 5 days agoОчень удобно, еще бы дать возможность к разным контейнерам привязывать разный профиль фаерфокс (с разными вкладками и расширениями) как это реализовано в браузере Arc

- Rated 3 out of 5by grace46202, 15 days agoWorks great, but the UI/UX and featuresets could be way better, such as grouping containers, more colour choices, subdomain wildcards in the allow list, inverted allow list ("never open in this container"), etc. Managing lots of containers gets very tedious.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Holger Böhnke, 16 days agoThis is one of my most used and most needed Extensions. So useful to login into the same site using two or more accounts. If you pin the tab and allow cookies for the site to be stored you have your app - like teams in two tenants or outlook with different accounts - right there at your fingertips when you open Firefox. Must have for web developers that need to login into frontend and backend at the same time.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17230081, 24 days agoReally great, but could use some polish. You really don't need a fullscreen warning that a site was previously set to open in a container. I know that it is in that container - that is the point (plus you have indicators already, really not hard to figure out). And when I limit a container to designated sites I still want to be able to open a tab into that container via the left click menu
