Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Mozilla Firefox

by Anonymous User, 4 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 Compunut, 8 hours 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, 2 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, 4 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, 8 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by TxTechnician, 10 days agoI manage multiple customers sites and online tools. FireFox Containers are indispensable to my work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18374805, 10 days agoIt would be great if we have an option to choose which container to open an external link. Today you can only choose current tab, or some other container (even you have more than 1 container).
