Reviews for Facebook Container
Facebook Container by Firefox
Review by madscientist327
Rated 3 out of 5
by madscientist327, 5 years agoHas two annoying bugs which impacts usability.
1. If I happen to navigate to FB from a non-FB page, the extension will close the existing tab and open FB in the container. Before I realized that the previous tab was being closed I couldn't even figure out why the back button no longer worked! This is a huge issue. The easy fix is to just not close the previous tab. Looks like this has been a reported issue since 2018 so not sure this is going to get fixed anytime soon.
2. This extension conflicts with other container extensions derived from it and vice versa. Specifically, two identical tabs will be opened. e.g. when using the FB container extension and the unofficial google container extension, opening google from FB or FB from google will open two identical tabs.
Overall, I really like the idea of this extension though and if these issues were fixed I would be able to give a higher rating.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19239252, 13 days agoLove the idea. Only gave 4 of 5 stars because of instead of just opening a new tab, it closes my original tab. SUPER ANNOYING to loose my search because I clicked on a FB or IG link. Fix this to just open a new tab automatically and i'll rate to 5 stars.

- Rated 1 out of 5by trav1295, 21 days agoIt's been at least 2 months, and no update from Mozilla on the new Threads url. Mozilla, please add "threads.com" to the site list, otherwise the page will never load, and some people may not know this extension is causing it.
How to add manually (until Mozilla updates/if they ever update it):
1. Go to threads.com
2. Click "Facebook container" under the Add-on button (or toolbar if you placed it there)
3. Click "Allow site in Facebook container"
4. Threads will load - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19114790, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by shino1, a month agoThis extension WILL completely break Threads website. I'm assuming it blocks access to some necessary Instagram stuff.
