Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

by Jamish, 6 years agoSerious usability issues. It does not reliably open the website in the proper container, even when you check "Always open in Personal" option. The reason is because there is no way to manually specify which URLs go with which container. Instead, you have to check the box after the page fully loads to tell it to always open in the current container. You cannot always tell the current page to open in a *different* container. You cannot manually write a whitelist of which URLs go to which container.
The reason this is problematic, is because oftentimes, you will get redirected from one page to another after logging in. You'll open your Social Media tab, go to the site, log in, then check "Always open in Social Media". But then the next time you navigate to the site via URL or bookmark, it will open in the standard container because the rule was made for the signed-in redirected URL, not the original URL. You can't open the original URL in the Social Media container because you get redirected immediately to the redirected URL. And you can't open the original URL in the standard container and request to "Always open in Social Media". So, you have to open your Social Media container, log out, make sure the log-in page is set to "Always open in Social Media", then log back in. What a pain!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14541632, 3 days agoRecently it's been impossible to remove a site from the 'managed site list' - after a short period it re-appears. Perhaps its an integration issue with FF sync, or occurred when FF revamping the profiles management.

- Rated 5 out of 5by fsr, 8 days agoIt's excellent. Very useful for using the same website with different accounts, like your personal and work accounts.

- Rated 5 out of 5by AjarAdore, 12 days agoQuite handy once you get the hang of it. I love the ability to purge cookies across a container, very useful. Honestly feel like this should be installed by default and enabled via settings.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Сырное, 17 days agoSo, what do we have here? A mockery from Firefox. Let's go back to the proxy form - it expects "type://host:ip", but what do we actually get? No SOCKS5 support. I enter "SOCKS5://ip:port", and it complains about an unsupported record type. And the proxy has been verified as working. It simply wouldn't work with any functional proxy.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Queenie, 18 days agol💗ve the concept, the excution is not working so well for me at present - I am not sure where the issue is, whether its in relation to my password keeper or the sites I am accessing (particularly where there is MFA).
Some are just getting caught in a constant login error loop (personally, I think its the sites - Xero, you are the main culprit, and its not unique to this browser or function).
I am new to containers, so still working out how to use them but I desperately want it to work as Chrome profiles have been an ongoing resource vampire. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15136226, 19 days ago
