Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Mozilla Firefox
Review by UnknownEngineer
Rated 2 out of 5
by UnknownEngineer, 5 years agoGreat idea, lazy execution.
Often fails to contain certain sites in their containers, popup for confirming a site be exclusively handled in given container sometimes unusable. Containers are a single flat list.
All that is minor, for an official addon it cannot sync settings, and settings are partially lost when disabled. Sites contained in default containers will be remembered, custom containers permanently lost.
If you are going to delete everything on disable (not remove), for any reason, at-least be thorough.
TLDR: Bare minimum functionality, still buggy. Is being an example an excuse for being poorly done?

- Rated 3 out of 5by Alcides, 7 days agoit misses a option for add site to be always opened with a container without have to open that site.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kranioceros, 7 days agoThis extension is excellent if you own multiple accounts for the same service and want to keep things isolated.
For instance, I have a personal GMail account and a work-only GMail account. It's nice to keep these things separate, because then you can use Single-Sign-On authentication without needing to continuously specify which email account I want to use for signing.
You can also associate certain websites with different containers, so that they are always opened in the appropriate container. Very useful as well, though it can lead to problems when you open the same website in two different containers (for example: I use GMail for both work and personal matters). - Rated 4 out of 5by NodeseoesedoN, 7 days ago
