Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by Felix, the “Upright Bassist”
Rated 3 out of 5
by Felix, the “Upright Bassist”, 4 years agoRichtig scheiße, denn das fördert Clutter und Chaos bei (zu) vielen Tabs und Fenstern:
Nach Auswahl bei einem Tab von „Always open this site in …“* öffnet sich
1. ohne Warnung/Hinweis
• ein (anscheinend) Klon des Tabs**, und zwar
• dort, wo gerade Aktivität war, also schlimmstenfalls, wo er im Leben nicht hingehört.
Das könnte ich noch verschmerzen, auch wenn es nervt. Aber
2. — wieder ohne Warnung/Hinweis! —
• es öffnen sich (alle? zumindest sehr, sehr viele) weitere(n) Inzidienzien dieses Tabs; in meinem Falle waren es zuerst hunderte, weil ich zuerst die dringendste Herausforderung an Privatheit angehen wollte.
Übrigens zunächst mit der (dann ziemlich) dussligen Warnung unter dem Titel “Multi-Account Containers Confirm Navigation”* mit dem Inhalt “Open this site in your assigned container? You asked Firefox to always open CarmaChamleon for this site: (…URL…) Would you still like to open in this current container?
[ ] Remember my decision for this site
[Open in Current Container] [Open in CarmaChamleon]”*.
Und dann noch einer… noch einer… noch… noch…noch… und nochundnochundnochundnochundnoch — und… so weiter.
Das erinnert mich an Windows-Installation im Vergleich zu Mac (früher jedenfalls): Windows fragt jeweils zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten Dinge ab, statt diese vorab in einem Rutsch zu klären…
Suggestions to the developers:
Please consider those people who — like me — are “tab hoarders”.
—> warn that possibly hundreds of tabs will open when making that choice (at least once, with remember of course), or better
—> find another way of dealing with that situation:
• open in place, why not the same tab anyway? At least in the same window!!! — I (try to) put order into the placing of tabs in different windows, so don't mess with that, please…
• and… well no “and”, that would heal the problem of cluttery and confusion.
In the meantime, address us “tab hoarders” at least by putting up a warning on first usage, better yet a set of instructions — maybe there's a better way to set it up without annoyance and confusion?
Bear in mind, we might have fairly slow computers still in use, so when testing, consider that as well…
Thank you.
And, another thing:
translation.
With German, I offer help. My English is, hm, okay; my German is excellent, I love to use precise expressions that are still easy to understand.
* Übersetzung?!?!? — Deutsch ist nun nicht eine Sprache, die bloß von 20 versprengten Individuen in weit verstreuten Hütten in der Tundra oder dem Regenwald gesprochen wird…!
Ich würde auch dabei helfen, da ich auch Englisch recht gut beherrsche.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19548448, 3 hours agoCannot use the containers without giving a rating so you get one star. Nagging is a shitty tactic.
Edit: A review is not enough. Are you actually forcing people to post on facebook and twitter to gain access to this extension? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19548434, 4 hours agothe review nag is annoying, but the feature is great and works well
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19539687, 11 hours agoSuper useful extension. Enough for me to switch to Firefox.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Erica K., 11 hours agoI shouldn't have to rate, share, or otherwise promote an official Firefox extension just to be able to use it. Make sure this "feature" gets removed soon so I don't develop a competitor. 📎
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19547770, 12 hours agoGood functionality, but what's the deal with having to review...?
- Rated 2 out of 5by ayan, 14 hours ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19547520, 15 hours agoWhy does this junk app keep asking me to review it?
- This is very essential basic browser functionality which Mozilla have decided to lock behind a bunch of annoying nags and product promotions. Would be much better if it would just let me use the extension without wasting my time, and also if this functionality was integrated into Firefox.
- Great idea, but buggy when used for youtube and somewhat with google and gmail. Also some lesser problems with facebook and instagram. All these problems relate to trying to have different accounts in different containers. I caused me to come back to Mozilla Firefox. Please
- Good extension, but UX is broken.
the "Open this site in your assigned Container?" page should really allow me to choose which container, rather than having "Current" and "last" container.
its just a bit awkward to use as a developer, when you need to spin up multiple containers quickly - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19545776, 2 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16701147, 2 days agoI used to love this. But now it shows me a "You've opened 100 container tabs" popup every time I open it and insists that I write a review. Well, here's your review.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6801012, 3 days agoAfter opening 100 tabs through it it turns into annoying nag ware that keeps begging to ratings and sharing EVERY SINGLE TIME you try to use it. Oh, and it only wants you to share through fascist platforms Facebook and Twitter.
Screw you Firefox. And no, don't dare to hide behind 'oopsie, bug'. This infantile behaviour shouldn't have been in here in the first place. Not even once. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nopanun Laochunhanun, 3 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Xary, 3 days agoThis extension right here is the smoking gun that convinced me to switch over to firefox, it's insanely useful and a great quality of life tool to manage multiple accounts and no other browser has this. I can now open (for example) YouTube with 2 different accounts or in a new container without an account. They can't track between each other, so it is of course a gigantic win for privacy too.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19542949, 3 days agoTake off the popup at 100 tabs and it'll be 5 star again.
