Reviews for Facebook Container
Facebook Container by Firefox
Review by Moz://FifthAxiom
Rated 2 out of 5
by Moz://FifthAxiom, 6 years agoSerious bugs in the Facebook-container extension code involving triggering actions on URL change / container change.
- Clicking links / changing URLs in omni-box from container site to container site will close the current tab (history lost) and opens two tabs to new container site
- Clicking links container site to non- container site working okay (one new tab opened, history container maintained)
- For Google container add-on sometimes when clicking on link in search results, it will not open a new tab but opens a new site in the current container (login session lost). This means Google is not separated from other sites. Also occurs when typing in the omni-box
- Changing URLs in omni-box from container site to non- container (and visa versa) will close current tab (it should open a new tab instead of closing the container tab although arguable)
- No problems while staying in same container
*** TESTED ***
All container add-ons are conflicting as a result (you can only use one). Mozilla needs to change the code that triggers actions (triggered twice going from container to container site using multiple add-ons).
Conclusion: You cannot fork the Facebook container add-on without rewriting the code.

- Rated 2 out of 5by r2_d1000, 8 days agoIt helps to prevent Facebook's tracking (doesn't stop, but helps stop), but it is missing a lot of Facebook URLs. It only has 3 of Facebook's URLs built in, but it is missing the URLs for threads, meta AI, whatsapp, all of the FB help and company pages, and their other projects. There is actually an issue and pull request open for this on their GitHub, but Mozilla seems to be ignoring it, and because of that, I have to take off major points, since they know about it, and someone is fixing it for them, but they still aren't doing anything about it, which is unfortunate.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jessica Cherry, a month agoI've tried several alternatives and this one is by far the best. Straightforward and does the job perfectly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Saint.77, 8 months agoOne of the essentials for privacy and anonymity on the web which cuts off facebook tracking from outside of facebook. I combine this with google container and twitter/x container. In addition you can use about:config privacy.firstparty.isolate = "true" or privacy.partition.network_state = "true" to isolate webpages from eachother.
