Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

by Firefox user 13258823, 7 years agoI love this extension, but that the configs don't sync with my firefox account is a big problem.
Putting sites into appropriate containers is not trivial. Having to do this on every computer, or worse, losing your configs... is very discouraging.
The documentation encourages using it to manage multiple accounts on the same platform, however this usecase is not baked in. The default containers are not a bad suggestion. I used some of them. My custom containers centered around the third-party authentication and the specific account. So, I open youtube in a personal google account. I open google drive in a container for my work gsuite account.
Maybe some more guidance could be given on how to use containers. My big question is, does it make sense to separate websites that I authenticate with via twitter from websites I authenticate via facebook?
I think some built-in UX around organizing websites into containers based on specific authentication accounts could be a great feature.

- Rated 5 out of 5by .S.E.R.O., 16 hours agoFinally - this is exactly what I need to have everything in ONE browser window. No more switching between profiles.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17724522, a day agonot possible to open. Collecting yes but not for use.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Michael, 2 days agoThis extension truly helps making juggling separate accounts far easier. The only thing that would make it perfect is if it could somehow store bookmarks separately for each account.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gabriel, 4 days agoEsta ferramenta é muito boa para pessoas que possuem mais de uma conta em uma mesma plataforma. Como mais de um gmail ou mais de um perfil no instagram. Dá pra configurar também um container isolado para sites de banco também. Deixando tudo mais seguro.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Another Guy, 8 days agopoor performance with 2-factor authentication such as Duo Security, and even worse performance if you need to access the same website from multiple accounts like Google with work account and personal account. It picks the wrong container automatically when I'm trying to use a different account. Bricks several website login pathways with my work accounts.

- Rated 1 out of 5by What???, 9 days agoAll the positive reviews claiming this extension works are either bots or AI. The fact is it doesn't work especially on Meta (Facebook pages) and neither does the other Firefox container called Facebook. Besides, it's incredibly difficult to verify it actually works and in my case I know it doesn't because I use a good VPN and Meta still knows I am not in the country I claim (and no, I am not leaking DNS either). I mean, at first the VPN does it's job but then when I click on a link in FB I am redirected to the site it knows my true location then and starts giving me ads for the country I am physically in. I tried different VPNs and ran extensive tests to verify these container extensions do not work at all.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Roman, 10 days ago- constantly asks to confirm
- can we pls. make it so that i can set a bookmark for amazon to open in one container, then make a bookmark to amazon and specify to open in another? why can we not say directly in the bookmark which container to use (without confirmations and delays) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19079829, 10 days agoFrankly, it's the most useful extension I've ever used. Thanks to all the team behind this beautiful project for the quality of their work.
