Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

by aba, 9 months agoA good idea but completely unfinished.
Sync to a new browser always merges the default configuration without asking. The Sync does not sync the 'limit to designated sites' option, so you have to manually apply that to all the categories (while you clean out the merged in default configuration).
Management of the categories is woefully sub-par; how is there no way to manually add domains or wildcard domains to a category? Try keeping a service like Google in a 'limited' category and watch the SSO explode every time you go to maps dot google dot com because the browser doesn't stay on the auth redirect long enough to add it to the container though the UI.
It also breaks the firefox profiler, as the profiler can't load profiles from outside the category.
None of this bothered me when this feature was new, but it's been years. I wish I could recommend this and use it in earnest.

I'm no programmer but after needing to re-login to everything once I assigned containers, my observation is each container is essentially a separate instance of the browser, each container with its own set of cookies. This is a genius way to split up cookies based on how sensitive the info is, and it somehow manages to run as if I didn't install an addon that does multi-process instances in one window. I've been using Firefox ever since I started to understand cybersecurity from wiki dives and debit card fraud in high school and would just like to say this is probably the most customizable, resource-efficient/multithreaded/fast and private browser there is. That's why I have my beta studies turned on now; I want to contribute. Thank you and keep up the great work over there!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kemar Christie, 2 days agoThis works flawlessly, no issues here. Would love to see more icons though so i can have more containers that arent repeating icons. Let us use emojis instead or add our own icon. Also huge thing to add. make the containers use seperate extensions. This would then replicate the profliels feature but make it all unified from one profile.

- Rated 5 out of 5by igor, 4 days agoIt simplifies managing multiple logins on the same site and significantly enhances privacy by preventing cross-site tracking.Highly recommended for taking control of your online footprint.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19469689, 14 days agoОчень удобно, еще бы дать возможность к разным контейнерам привязывать разный профиль фаерфокс (с разными вкладками и расширениями) как это реализовано в браузере Arc

- Rated 3 out of 5by grace46202, 23 days agoWorks great, but the UI/UX and featuresets could be way better, such as grouping containers, more colour choices, subdomain wildcards in the allow list, inverted allow list ("never open in this container"), etc. Managing lots of containers gets very tedious.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18215164, 23 days agoVery usefull extension, now i don't have to install multiple firefox or multiple chrome profile. I like it. Managing my clients id is very easy now. Thank you to the developers.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Holger Böhnke, 24 days agoThis is one of my most used and most needed Extensions. So useful to login into the same site using two or more accounts. If you pin the tab and allow cookies for the site to be stored you have your app - like teams in two tenants or outlook with different accounts - right there at your fingertips when you open Firefox. Must have for web developers that need to login into frontend and backend at the same time.
