- Rated 3 out of 5by robisodd, 2 years agoPlease, please, PLEASE! Allow an option to set the default action (in the URL bar) to "open this site as [container]" and not "ALWAYS open this site as [container]"! I cannot use this extension without this option (I am aware it is available buried in submenus of the separate extension icon). It doesn't need to be the default, just an option. I have spent HOURS removing hundreds of websites from the default "ALWAYS open" setting; not to mention the dozens of billable hours fixing users' issues with this setting.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Orelian, 2 years agogreat idea & a simple way of improving user experience on Firefox but the best feature that can be added is the possibility to group tabs of the same container in the top tab bar

- Rated 3 out of 5by screamcap, 2 years agoit works great BUT I can only partially access the 'Manage Containers' screen to customize or edit existing container or add a new one, the 'Save' button is not visible. The "manage container' button on the previous screen is barely visible.
- Rated 3 out of 5by HazeyDays, 2 years agoOnly gripe I have is when a site has separate sites to go to before it comes back to the main site. Ends up in a loop back and forth to each site, hence it never goes to where I need. End up needing to remove a site from containers completely, just to view a page. A remedy would be to allow us to enter an address into the add-on manually that will put it into the container.

- Rated 3 out of 5by ilikefreesoftware, 2 years agoI really like the idea of container tabs and I want it to work. I prefer to have certain sites quarantined and the ability to have multiple logins on the same website. The ergonomics of getting that to work are what bothers me. e.g. setting a site to always open in a container tab will still prompt the user if that's what they want. There's also some issues involved in using Oauth2 across containers.
I thought at first I would use this to contain my work related activities and keep them away from everything else, but I now know that separate profiles is the answer to this use case.
All in all I think this is a valuable feature and I look forward to it getting improved upon in the future. - Rated 3 out of 5by avtolik, 2 years agoWhile the containers are really useful, the user experience is lacking.
For example the sort button has no confirmation. I clicked by mistake and all my tabs are now sorted by some weird logic and not by my context. And I cannot revert this. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18066063, 2 years agoThis is the closest I've found to Chrome's tab system (super helpful for students) but I wish you were able to edit/add more categories.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Cupper, 2 years agoSo far the extension is nice. However, I'm disappointed that I can't use it in a private browser. I pretty much only use private browsers.
Does anybody know how I can make a feature request to use this extension in a private browser? - Rated 3 out of 5by Matthew K., 2 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Eng.Dark Alchemist, 2 years agoMissing more color (the user could add and remove colors) - the same for icons.

- Rated 3 out of 5by feep, 2 years agoWorks *somewhat* well, but gets really annoying when opening up a new tab and it asks to use an assigned container constantly. Even when pressing the 'remember my decision for this site', it still occurs. bleh
- Rated 3 out of 5by bhjfbbge, 2 years agoYou should add an ability to disable addons per container then it would be 10/10
- Rated 3 out of 5by SagaciousB, 2 years agoThe multi-account containers is a great idea that is not fully flushed out. While I love that I can separate cookies for different types of accounts, some things simply aren't thought through.
For instance, I have reddit accounts in a container, as well as in the default non-container. Every time I click a Reddit link (even *from* an open Reddit page), the plugin asks me if I'd like to open in a container. I say no, I click the box to remember this decision. IT IS NOT REMEMBERED. Ever.
Furthermore, I really want these containers to also sync to mobile, but this plugin isn't supported in mobile. So, that kind of defeats the point.
Ideally, this functionality would be integrated into Firefox natively. And, it should be smarter about opening links in the same tab/container type as the source link that you're clicking on. - Rated 3 out of 5by Henry, 3 years agovery smart. BUT ANNOYING CUZ NO "disable a web page on specified container"
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17689965, 3 years agoWhile the extension is incredibly useful, it has some glaring omissions.
For some inexplicable reason, once you set a container as default for a website, you can never clear that default again, at most you can change it, but if you have multiple containers for different accounts on that same website, whenever you are browsing it and want to open a link in a new tab, it will always, at the very least, prompt you to open on the "default" container, which is incredibly annoying.
Another incredibly annoying thing is that you can't truly sort your containers, they will always be on the order they were created. And whenever you reinstall Firefox, or install on a new device, and need to reinstall your extensions, including this, the containers will again, be in the same order they were created, and even if you sort them to your taste when clicking on the extension icon, in the "Open Link in New Container Tab" context menu, they will always be in the wrong order.
Please fix this, devs. - Rated 3 out of 5by Daze, 3 years agoReally useful for when you need it. But if you ever use the "Always Open This Site in..." feature, there's no intuitive way to make it open in a non-container tab. You're stuck with that shit forever. I'm so incredibly frustrated with this.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Haltarys, 3 years agoIt'd be nice to be able to open in a new tab based on URL matching, not just domain
- Rated 3 out of 5by David Webb, 3 years agoEdit: I'm removing a star due to the review nag that doesn't seem to realize that I've already provided a review.
I've been using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers plug-in for years and have been very happy with it.
The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of a recent issue I'm having with the "Open this site in your assigned Container?" message that pops up every time I go to an awsapps.com start page. My issue is that I have multiple AWS accounts to work within and I use the containers to allow multiple simultaneous logins.
I don't want this dialog. I haven't found a way to turn it off. I haven't found a way to remove the default container setting for this site. It pops up when I go to the start page and again when I go to the next page on AWS login.
Please give me a way to manage which sites default to which container beyond the non-functional "Remember my decision for this site" checkbox.
I want to get a list of sites per container and be able to remove them.
