Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Mozilla Firefox

by Firefox user 14198976, 5 years agoI generally like using this add-on, in addition to Private Browsing mode it pretty much does everything I need it to. There's a few options that could be added that would bring it to the next level:
- customize container colors instead of choosing from a pre-set list of 7
- when pressing ctrl-T, the new tab should inherit the container of the currently active tab
- it would be nice if there were an option to skip the interstitial that prompts you to confirm when opening a url in a container other than the one it's programmed for
- i wish there were advanced options for programming which container should be used for which urls - cookies can be set by domain or path, it's pretty crude that we can only associate a single domain with a single container
Also a few surprising bugs (I'm on a macbook):
- clicking "Open in *Current* Container" on the interstitial to override the domain/container pairing doesn't work (but using keyboard controls does)
- customize container colors instead of choosing from a pre-set list of 7
- when pressing ctrl-T, the new tab should inherit the container of the currently active tab

- Rated 5 out of 5by Yogesh Hindoliya, 10 days agoContainers on Firefox basically solve all the problems and limitations a software developer can have with other browsers. It just simply is awesome. Kudos!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by DeepDive9984, 11 days agoGreat add-on, that is a must-have. I can split my logins over multiple containers, and have sites that require MFA trusted from within the same browser for different accounts. Can't recommend enough

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18431494, 17 days agoI like this extension a lot; I use it mainly to separate big tech accounts from the rest of the browsing. This brought me to a feature idea that would help me & maybe some other users also. It would be nice to set some sites as container exit points towards another container. A use case for this is having my email (Gmail) run in one container, but when I want to access a link from one email, I want it to switch to "No Container" afterwards - that way, I'm not identified by my Google account on other websites.
