- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12997163, 7 years agoI really love this plugin. Once you train it to sort domains how you'd like it works without you even noticing. Great for sandboxing Google, Facebook, and Amazon so they're tracking is limited. I wish it would sync my settings across my devices because training it takes 10 or 20 minutes. Also, having a preconfigured list of domains and containers would be useful and preclude the need to configure it for a lot of use cases.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13631572, 7 years agoI love it because it reduces the time to complete a plenty of tasks. But I will love it very much and give 5 stars if you add an option to open a website links in all container tabs at the same time.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12489259, 7 years agoVery nice to separate activities, but the usage could be improved, e.g. by having the possibility to assign complete domains to a container. I have nowhere found this available.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Richizilla, 7 years agoBefore I used two mozilla profiles, one for home and other for work. Now I use containers. I happy with then but more features are possible.
- Rated 4 out of 5by daddy32-1364596324.4, 7 years agoServes the purpose. Only thing I'm missing is synchronization of the settings between the devices.
- Rated 4 out of 5by exCorbac, 7 years agoThis is definitely a useful add-on!
The possibility to restrict certain sites to specific containers is really a plus as compared to the basic containers that come with Firefox. It gives less risk to open a site in a "wrong" container or the default one.
It's also quite cool to know it impairs giant sites (Facebook, Google and others) to track one's online activities. I created a google container by the way.
However, the lack of sync ability for the moment costs one star, though it is foreseen by the developer. I found a temporary workaround that is to sync containers.json and ../browser-extension-data/@testpilot-containers/storage.js (both found in one's Firefox profile) through a sync application (FreeFileSync does it very well, download it from here: https://www.freefilesync.org/) - Rated 4 out of 5by bixo, 7 years agoIt is a really useful tool to keep your browser organized. It enables the capacity to have more than one email account in the same service (gmail for example).
It would be nice to have a right click menu to open a link in a specific container or change a tab to another container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jazzlover, 7 years agoLove the idea and the simplicity of extension! On the other hand the extension lacks 2 must-have features:
1. Sync containers: name, icons and - the most important - assigned sites for each container. Actually this functionality can be implemented by syncing 2 files in profile folder only: containers.json and storage.js (in extensions folder)
2. the option to open a link from containerized website in (a) a no-container tab or (b) in default-container tab
Otherwise is great.
Cheers! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14053958, 7 years agoGreat potential! What's frustrating is there is no way (that I know of) to sync the settings of this plug-in. I'd be happy if settings could be imported & exported, but that's not an option. It would also be nice if privacy settings could be configured per container. I typically configure FF to nuke cookies & history upon closing. But now that I can configure some sites to always open in their own container, it would be nice to preserve (and sync) cookies/settings for those specific containers.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14014619, 7 years agoPretty convenient feature! I do with they included some other basic functionality in this extension rather than delegating it to other extensions, such as switching the container of the current tab.
Also, it was a little weird it was counting the number of container tabs I opened so it could suggest me to rate it.
But overall, really useful! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14036738, 7 years agoReally simple to use.
Don't make it more complex, please !
I use it to regroup severeral sessions into one container.
I'd just love to
- have the possibility to protect a container with a password
- have a special container dedicated to private browsing - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12627651, 7 years agoQuite comfortable to reach out your interest easier than ever before.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14030698, 7 years agoJe m'en sers principalement pour dissocier les réseaux sociaux du reste de ma navigation et cela fonctionne très bien. La procédure pour ajouter un site à un container n'est pas forcément toujours évidente mais heureusement ce n'est qu'à faire une fois.
Quelques fonctions qui pourraient être très utiles :
- Des containers exclusifs : les liens cliqués externes aux sites listés dans le container s'ouvrent dans le container par défaut.
- La possibilité "d'envoyer" un onglet dans un autre container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Junquenito, 7 years agoGreat add-on that has really helped me with the corp implementation of SSO cookies - one for prod, another for dev/stage environments - on top of the daily use to separate sites (banking from reddit, etc)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10822314, 7 years agoThe only thing that is fundamental and that is missing now in Firefox is ability to show only one container at a time. Similar to Tab grouping that has been disfunctional from FF57. Power Tabs is nice add-on for newer versions but it's that's much bugged it can't be used.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13986542, 7 years agoIt's a nice way to categorise my tabs without using multiple accounts. I just wish it could sync your settings across installs.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12947557, 7 years agoThis does exactly as it describes. It's fairly easy to open or create new containers. That said, I would like to see a few changes to make it even easier to use.
Right now, when you create a container, that's all you can do on that screen. You can add permanent sites to the containers. You must open the site in the container, then check a box. In one way, this does prevent any errors due to mistyping, but it would be handy if it could search my history or bookmarks and find sites to add as permanently in the container.
It would also be great if there was a "containerize this site" button. Essentially, use the current site as a sample to make a new container and permanent rule.
Additionally, it would be helpful if pre-configured lists (e.g. all social media sites) that could simply be imported for this purpose. - Rated 4 out of 5by Mandeep Singh, 7 years agoIt would be great to have quick shortcuts for opening a new container tab. In other words, a custom keybinding configurable for opening any specific container tab.
For example,
I want to open a shopping tab, I would like to have something like "Ctrl+Shift+S" or it might even be numbers if there is any chance for conflicts with browser specific shortcuts. Something like "Ctrl+Shift+1". Similarly for other containers. It would make it way more easier to operate with the tabs.
Thank you. - Rated 4 out of 5by spikespaz, 7 years agoMy only complaint is that I can't move an existing tab into a container. I have to open a new container tab and sign back into the website I want.
