by Firefox user 15208343, 3 years agoThe idea of multi-account containers is great and the context separation between containers works, so far, reliably.
However, two side issues turn out so cumbersome that the gain of clearity and ease this add-on could potentially enable is hardly effective in practice:
(1) If you deal with many dozen open tabs, you may frequently enploy the % shorthand in address bar to quickly find a particular tab. Alas, that shorthand doesn't work across containers, so it gets close to useless unless the searched-for tab resides in the same container with the current tab. In order to search for any other open tab, you (1a) first need to remember its context container, then (1b) find an arbitrary tab belonging to that container, then (1c) perform the tab search there.
(2) Even with the "sort tabs by container" menu item (which has to be invoked manually each time), the visual overview provided by the thin colour marks at tabs is limited. The UI would be much clearer if containers were, or optionally could be, assigned to browser windows, making all tabs in that container appear in the associated window and nowhere else.
This (2) would also help a lot in dealing with (1), as finding a tab belonging to a particular container (1b) would be as easy as finding the corresponding browser window. Given that you typically use much fewer browser windows than tabs, even (1a) is not a big deal anymore as you can perform the tab search once in every browser window (i. e. container).

- Rated 3 out of 5by Saris, 3 days agoUseful, but so many things to close asking to use a VPN, the "manage site list" option also doesn't work, just shows a blank window. It feels a bit unfinished like it's a beta version.

- Rated 5 out of 5by adamhybel, 7 days agoFirefox Multi-Account Containers is an essential extension from Mozilla that revolutionizes how you manage multiple online identities and enhances your privacy within a single browser window.
- Enhanced Privacy: Keep your work, personal, banking, and shopping activities separate. Cookies and site data are isolated within each "container," significantly limiting cross-site tracking and keeping your identities distinct.
- Effortless Organization: Log into multiple accounts on the same website simultaneously without conflict. Manage personal and work emails, or different social media profiles, side-by-side without needing separate browsers or private windows.
- Intuitive Control: Easily assign websites to specific containers. Once set up, sites automatically open in their designated container, keeping your browsing neatly compartmentalized with minimal effort.
- Trustworthy & Integrated: Developed directly by Mozilla, it's free, open-source, and seamlessly integrates with the Firefox browser, ensuring reliability and adherence to privacy principles.
- Clean Browsing: Stop juggling multiple browser profiles or constantly logging in and out. Containers provide a streamlined and efficient way to manage your diverse online life.
That's it! Install it, assign your key sites to containers, and experience a much more organized and private web. Firefox Multi-Account Containers is a fantastic tool for anyone managing multiple online personas. Huge thanks to the Mozilla team for creating and maintaining this invaluable utility. Highly recommended! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18955579, 8 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sylvain, 9 days agoMulti-Account Containers is very great, nice job!
Especially for sysadmin checking permissions or multi-account privileges, keeping admin account and normal user-level privileges when one private tab is not enough.
I recommend! - Rated 5 out of 5by axolotl, 9 days agoottimo, molto utile ed intuitivo, finalmente posso accedere a più account contemporaneamente nello stesso browser con molta facilità e permette di dividere lavoro e vita privata con un click

- Rated 5 out of 5by YHamsChan, 16 days agoGood. I can use multiple accounts. But I need more stickers since I don't find any and more colors for the containers.
