- Rated 4 out of 5by dserodio-1364597266.72, 7 years agoI love it and use it everyday. I just wish the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Period) was customizable.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13921310, 7 years agoGreat stuff! Only thing I miss is, that you can assign whole domains (incl. all subdomains) to a container, rather than just specific (sub-)domains.
- Rated 4 out of 5by GammaFunction, 7 years agoSeparating by site name is good, but more fine-grained control would be appreciated: a preferences page where a user can edit the match rules to any regex: Personally, I want to open reddit.com/r/a in container a, and reddit.com/r/b in container b.
Also, it loses my data fairly often fairly often. Either making the extension more robust or allowing us to export/import data would be great. - Rated 4 out of 5by K.S, 7 years agoIt would be 5 stars with the ability to change the order of the Container list and (I just found this out by looking at a few of the reviews) the ability to sync to other devices!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Adam Burch, 7 years agoThe ONLY reason this isn't a 5 star review is that there's no way to sync containers across multiple devices. Other than that, it's great!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12649351, 7 years agoI like it, good way to organize and separate multiple domain surfing.
Although, It's missing some features, like:
+Clearing the browsing history for a single Container.
+Make a Container like Private Mode, doesn't keep data.
+Overall some more stuff regarding privacy by container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Derek88, 7 years agoSeems like a great idea and I thank Mozilla for creating it. My only problem is, even when I click the box saying, "Always open in..." the specified container. The next time I go to the site, it somesimes stays on the default container.
In other words, it would be nice if containers were automatically detected every time we visit a site that was placed in a container. - Rated 4 out of 5by sigu, 7 years agoWhen I first heard about this I thought of how I would sandbox facebook from accessing my other data. Worked perfectly well.
I would have given it a 5 star if there was a way to remember the settings. Maybe an integration with firefox sync - Rated 4 out of 5by Zeeshan Ali Qureshi, 7 years agoit'll be good if we can open bookmarks in selected container by right click > select conainer.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Doc, 7 years agoPlease add Cloud Sync of the Containers! Hate to add them each time
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13910725, 7 years agovery good concept. simple execution. more features would be good.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12122868, 7 years agoSuggestion:
Currently:
When you open a link in "Tab 1 - Container A" that is set to open in Container B, the link opens in "Tab 2 - Container B).
Improvement(?):
I think it would be better if the link opened in "Tab A - Container B". Meaning that (Tab 1 - Container A) changes to (Tab 1 - Container B)
Second Suggestion: Fix to a bug? = sometimes when I open a link that opens in a new container, 2 tabs open instead of 1 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13910094, 7 years agoOnly reason I don't give it 5 stars is because It doesn't sync container settings between devices.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13910051, 7 years agoNIce add-on, but one thing I cannot seem to do is to pre-define websites to open in different containers so I don't have to choose container every time I load that website. Perhaps I have missed something.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13909021, 7 years agoSeems to work great so far, but I have a few suggestions.
Currently it doesn't appear that your settings sync between devices. I've got FireFox installed on both my work computer and my home computer, logged in on my personal email and everything synced between the two. I spent some time last night setting up my containers, and setting certain sites to only open in specific containers, etc. When I logged in on my work laptop, it shows all the original containers (none of the new ones I setup), and when I visit certain sites, they don't default to the container I configured on my home computer. This functionality would be great to have.
Another suggestion would be able to move an existing tab/site into a container. When I installed the addon, I had several tabs open. I had to open a specific container tab, then copy/paste the URL from the generic tab, to the container tab. It also doesn't appear to let you move the tab from one container to another.
I'm still getting used to the addon, so maybe this little nuances aren't as big of a deal, especially as I setup some default behaviors, but for me the biggest thing would be addon settings/containers syncing across browsers.
Edit: Oh, once you get the syncing of settings across devices, enabling this addon for mobile use would be awesome. - Rated 4 out of 5by Josh, 7 years agoFantastic extension. I no longer need to run multiple browsers, I am now strictly a Firefox user.
Feature suggestions:
Allow manually entering websites.
Allow randomizing browser fingerprint per container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13097488, 7 years agoGreat idea. Facebook and Google have been isolated. However, I think it would be more intuitive if you could right click on the tab and click "Add to Container X" rather than first having to open the tab in container.
Also, what are the advantages of using this versus having tracking protection enabled all of time? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13296394, 7 years agoGood start but needs more work. Mainly I want to tie certain sites to certain containers, at least for bookmarked sites. For example, I want my banking site automatically open in the banking container every time. Currently the process to do so is somewhat cumbersome and has to be repeated every single time. That's quite annoying.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12880839, 7 years agoStep 1: Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Step 2: Firefox Browser Profiles!!! - Rated 4 out of 5by giggio, 7 years agoI love it. If only it worked on Firefox for Android... it would get 5 stars.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13391190, 7 years agogenius! Please make this as an default feature.
an opion to say a bookmark should open in a container would be great. - Rated 4 out of 5by Martijn, 7 years agoVery nice way to use separate profiles side-by-side.
However, it would be nice if the container could be specified in bookmarks. More specifically, in bookmarks that are supposed to open in the side bar. Those now always appear to use the 'no container' profile.
