Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 17168040, 4 years agoVery close to perfect! A lot of great features! Excellent for both security and privacy. Just a couple of points keeping it from 5 stars:
1st: We need an option so that all tabs set to open in a container by default won't prompt the user to ask if they want to open a link in its assigned container. It should just do it.
2nd: "The Manage Site List..." menu needs an option to manually enter a web address. Currently the only option is to use the address bar button while navigating, but this can break some re-direct heavy sites. Slack logins, for instance, may go through several different corporate domains in an instant and will break in horribly painful ways if one of those URLs isn't allowed to open in the container holding the login cookie.
3rd: Mozilla VPN is a good idea, but its implementation would be less vulnerable to traffic profiling attacks if it were on by default on all containers and each individual container had a separate opt-out option instead of the current enable option. I'd also like if the service weren't tied to specific Firefox accounts, or had a multi-account payment plan, so that I could use it on my work and home accounts at the same time.
4th: This is just a wish-list thing, but I'd absolutely adore it if you allowed us to use third party VPN logins instead of Mozilla VPN. This would be really great for tunneling into VPNs tied to router networks in the home or at work as if the user were physically on location. A lot of companies do this for security and including this could really help adoption.
Address at least the first three of these and you'll get five stars!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15082755, 10 hours agoThis is one of the core plugins I use (in addition to Ublock Origin).
With the account sync, containers are also remembered across different computers as well, so I don't have to set up the containers on every new laptop or reinstall of firefox. Sometimes I mistakenly open a website in the wrong container because I don't always map every single website to a container, but most of the time it's a non-issue.
I'm surprised this is still an add-on and not a core Firefox feature. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18184964, a day agoIt doesn't work for me. I cannot create a container where I am logged into Google and simultaneously a container where I'm not logged in.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Benjamin MOREAUX, 5 days agoVery handy for managing multiple M365 or Google tenants.
For me, the only thing missing is the ability to have “private browsing” containers and a way to always open in a container, for example when editing a bookmark. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19794127, 5 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14541632, 9 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, 14 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, 18 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, 22 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, 24 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, 25 days ago
