Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Mozilla Firefox

Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 17168040, 2 years agoVery close to perfect! A lot of great features! Excellent for both security and privacy. Just a couple of points keeping it from 5 stars:
1st: We need an option so that all tabs set to open in a container by default won't prompt the user to ask if they want to open a link in its assigned container. It should just do it.
2nd: "The Manage Site List..." menu needs an option to manually enter a web address. Currently the only option is to use the address bar button while navigating, but this can break some re-direct heavy sites. Slack logins, for instance, may go through several different corporate domains in an instant and will break in horribly painful ways if one of those URLs isn't allowed to open in the container holding the login cookie.
3rd: Mozilla VPN is a good idea, but its implementation would be less vulnerable to traffic profiling attacks if it were on by default on all containers and each individual container had a separate opt-out option instead of the current enable option. I'd also like if the service weren't tied to specific Firefox accounts, or had a multi-account payment plan, so that I could use it on my work and home accounts at the same time.
4th: This is just a wish-list thing, but I'd absolutely adore it if you allowed us to use third party VPN logins instead of Mozilla VPN. This would be really great for tunneling into VPNs tied to router networks in the home or at work as if the user were physically on location. A lot of companies do this for security and including this could really help adoption.
Address at least the first three of these and you'll get five stars!

- Rated 4 out of 5by rottosotam, 8 days agoIt lacks the option to input manually an site into a container so one doesn't have to first open the site and then make it into the container.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Skinnx86, 10 days agoImmensely useful working as a sysadmin for multiple clients. Logging in to accounts all day is made easier with Firefox container tabs.
Edge, eat your heart out, I don't need to have an entire separate window open to perform the same task!!! Makes my colleagues go brrr.... - Rated 4 out of 5by Ordi_P, 11 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Compunut, 15 days agoThis extension is one of a handful that absolutely make Firefox my preference over alternatives. This is a great tool for keeping things isolated. I can help family by logging into their accounts in a family container without disrupting my logins to the same services, as an example. It is awesome!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Patrick Symlogia, 16 days agoI work with many Microsoft 365 portals open - this add-on lets me bounce between customers without having to log in and out continuously.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18383768, 18 days agoWish it would work, but asks me EVERY SINGLE TIME I open a new tab, if I want it opened in a specific container, then doesn't remember for next time. Figure it oot.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Avabo, 22 days agoIt's amazing what the original facebook container has turned into. This is a must for anyone with privacy concerns or worried about cookies tracking your every move.
