Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by nathanforyou
Rated 4 out of 5
by nathanforyou, 10 months agoI use this add-on mainly to reduce tracking by Google search. I.e. when I use Google search, I don't want to be auto-logged into my Google account or associated with my activity in Gmail etc. My laptop has 3GB of memory, it generally cannot handle more than one container running at a time. Instead of opening every google service in a container, I just have a container for Google Search and another one for Amazon (I'm not a big facebook user, but if I need to log in there I do so in a different browser.)
This arrangement surely makes my browsing less private than it could be as I'm logged into gmail etc w/o a container; I also have to ctrl-click links opened from google search and gmail, otherwise they open within the container.
I rated the extension 4 stars because I would appreciate an option to open outbound links (like google search results) outside of the container, without having to ctrl-click each time. I kind of wonder why containers aren't built into FF? But with the extension installed, the functionality feels baked in.

- Rated 3 out of 5by NOCOMMERCIALINTEREST, 3 days agogood for getting around jerk moderators who block you cuz you don't give the same opinions they have sites like:city-data and other jerk run sites run by morons. Have to keep checking allow permissions to delete container data. Easy to make a mistake and send in non-container if you're not careful. Mozilla wants you to add their VPN to the containers but their VPN gets such poor reviews no need. slow to load up.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19548448, 3 days 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, 3 days agothe review nag is annoying, but the feature is great and works well
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19539687, 4 days agoSuper useful extension. Enough for me to switch to Firefox.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Erica K., 4 days 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, 4 days agoGood functionality, but what's the deal with having to review...?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19547520, 4 days agoWhy does this junk app keep asking me to review it?
- Rated 2 out of 5by me18, 4 days agoThis 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Grant, 4 days agoGreat 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
- Rated 3 out of 5by edkranz, 5 days agoGood 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, 5 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16701147, 5 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, 6 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, 6 days ago
