Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 15639091, 6 years agoGreatly appreciate your efforts in this much needed critical feature. Let me add-on a few words to express how greatly your efforts are appreciated.
Facebook is the face of evil corporate practices in the beginning of the 21st century. It consistently lies about its activities regarding the personal data of users.
Not all internet companies use practices harmful to users, but many internet business models rely on violating user privacy for profits.
Most people remain unaware of the amount of highly personal information is stolen from them when they use the internet by "trustworthy" companies that don't reveal all of the ways user's data will be used
— it will probably be sold to third parties/companies,
—those third party companies could use it for nefarious purposes,
— once compiled, those third parties sell user's data to yet another company and the cycle continues, and left unabated will continue indefinitely.
Additionally, using the same techniques employed by the military, organizations collect data obtained from endless number of sources to compile a file on individuals that is accurate beyond belief.
Users should approach the internet as anything they do on the internet will be available forever. Unfortunately, no one is immune and we are all vulnerable and are being manipulated to some extent now, tomorrow, and forever.
Be careful out there and demand laws to to decrease our exposure. There are many reasons there aren't laws already for such an obvious vulnerability. One is that the politicians we count on to protect us want the information stolen on the internet so they too can compile a dossier on voters and persuade (manipulate) voters to vote for them. Yes, they (many, if not all) profit from the use of your information.
Anyone can surrender their own individual rights, should they so desire. However, they don't have the right to surrender the rights or privacy of others.
So, again Mozilla Code Monsters, thank you for providing a method to hold the Facebook Demons off, if only for a little while longer.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Saint.77, 19 days 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by grace46202, 2 months agoIf the container is accidentally deleted it can glitch out and does not re-create it by itself, requiring you to manually re-create a container to fix it. Otherwise this works great!
- Rated 5 out of 5by ninefoldrin, 2 months agoReally love this add-on. I appreciate anything keeping Facebook disconnected from myself.
As I don't know how else to potentially report a bug or anything like that, I'm also using this review to inform that there appears to be an issue with Etsy. When attempting to log into Etsy (with email login) it says there is an error until I try with Etsy allowed in Facebook Container. I'm not sure if this is something fixable or if Facebook has found a way to break Facebook Container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19239252, 3 months 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 shino1, 4 months agoThis extension WILL completely break Threads website. I'm assuming it blocks access to some necessary Instagram stuff.
