- Rated 3 out of 5by Rumboogy, 4 years agoI like the extension, but the user interface is insanely unintuitive and there are no instructions in the add-on's page. So you will have to spend a lot of time to figure out how to use this add-on. You can find some documentation by googling and some third party reviews that give even more insights on the benefits and use cases for this. I don't know why Mozilla makes it so difficult to get started with this add-on by not connecting it with meaningful documentation.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Gustavo, 4 years agoI seriously wanted to give this extension 10 stars, because it really changed the way I use the browser. However, I'm uninstalling it, because your syncing is shit, and I cannot change my site list. I want to change the order of the containers in the list, and for some reason, the list of all my "A" container sites (in which it should open by default) moved to "C" container after syncing, and there's no way I can remove it. Even when I click in the trash bin icons to delete them, it appears again when I reopen that menu. Before the update this extension was seriously amazing, but unfortunately is not usable anymore for me. Hope you let me change the order of the containers in the future as well as fixing your syncing.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14938509, 4 years agoThis addon would be great if they improved the way you can always open sites in a container.
Many examples of what I am talking about on the github page, ie https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/473
Instead I'm required to use an additional add on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/containerise/ to accomplish what I want. Stop being lazy devs and implement this guys solution already. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16276724, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13174109, 5 years agoVery useful extension. It helps me a lot in my job. Thank you.
However, sync function is complete mess! Please, make proper sync for this extension! - Rated 3 out of 5by Sly McNasty, 5 years agoI love the app EXCEPT I cant put the list into my own order. To do that I have to uninstall it, then reinstall it, and enter my containers in the order I want them to show up in. To do this every time I create a new container is a royal pain in the @@S. FIX THIS ISSUE!!!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Ilya Pirogov, 5 years agoIt's destructive now. E.g. after I added accounts.google.com to permanent container it stopped worked at all, I just can't login to anywhere. And no ways to remove it from permanent containers. So I have to remove this extension.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16160749, 5 years agoAs a non tech person, I appreciate the privacy options of Firefox and was excited to learn how to use the Container. I would give it five stars if there were better instructions on "how to". I haven't even been successful in using the help sections because of not knowing correct terminology. Obviously, I'm talking about very elementary steps, such as how to delete or rename a new container. Even more detail on how to actually put a web site into a new container would be great. ("See Spot run.") I ended up accidentally adding multiple new empty tabs to one of the containers. Here's the difficulty, I grew up with an IBM Selectric typewriter and never took a computer class in college. Lots of my friends are the same way. We just need more detailed steps. Maybe a "Tips for Baby Boomers" section throughout Firefox would be successful. Overall, I'm a huge Firefox (Moxilla) fan and even donate here and there. This is a great organization, and who else works so diligently for net neutrality? Donating to this organization is a privilege ... and a must.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12787132, 5 years agoFor version 7.0.2; The more recent update to this extension made the user experience less enjoyable. Here is what I needed the extension to do:
- quickly open a new tab in a specified container
- reopen an existing tab in a specified container
- set a specific url domain to open in specified container by default
The most recent update adds an additional number of clicks to open a new container tab. - Rated 3 out of 5by junkwerks, 5 years agoVersion 7 is too cumbersome to use now. Too many clicks required to open a container, the menu is now in the way of accessing the containers in the first place. Web browsers are mouse driven interfaces - I shouldn't have to remember what container is what menu number (oh, and I recently changed those), fumble around on the keyboard for yet another obscure key combination. Great idea, wrong execution.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Zeror, 5 years agoThe new update is a downgrade to this wonderful extension. The way it was good. Now not so much. Why?
We have to do two clicks to open a tab. And half of the time opening a new tab isn't even working for me. Clearly a broken addon and not properly tested (in UI/UX).
Please fix this!!! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15267213, 5 years agoAfter recent update, I have to go through 2 click to open a specific type of container?
Why I need to do this while I just want to open new tab in a container, why I have to see all tabs in that cointainer? - Rated 3 out of 5by stevanuhk, 5 years agoNew UI is not good, I need 1 step more to open my container on new tab, I use this container to reduce my flow, the new UI juat add the step on the flow.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16135960, 5 years agoBeen using for years for dealing with a huge number of aws/azure accounts.
Would like the ability to set a 'homepage' for certain containers. 'Always Open This Site In' is close, but I have several containers (for example for individual AWS accounts) that all use the same login url, which this doesnt work for as it would always open in the same container.
UI change in version 7.0.0 was completely unnecessary, was previously quick to open tabs. Using long press on the + button instead as suggested by other reviewers until I work out how to revert to the previous version. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13443597, 5 years agoThe sync has gone crazy, every time I add a new device and it syncs it creates the default containers and when I delete them they duplicate like crazy, it's chaos and it's very annoying because they always reappear!!!!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Kitty None, 5 years agoA great add-on in basic concept, but full of small frustrations. Once created, tab containers can't be rearranged. And if you leave a container open when you close the browser, when you reopen it your tabs will likely as not have been dumped out of their containers and there's no way to fix it except by opening the menu and choosing "reopen in container" for ever single tab individually.
Still, even if it's buggy I'm glad this extension exists. Hopefully they fix it someday so I can bump this review up two more stars. - Rated 3 out of 5by Vix, 5 years agoThis is useful but I hate when opened all the tabs of a container I close Firefox without hiding them and I lose the container content. Since I spend time to organize my containers I would expect to have it persistent somehow.
- Rated 3 out of 5by takaouto, 5 years agoThis is a great extension now that I am working from home, I can keep logged in to the accounts I need and simply hide them when I don't want to be distracted during work.
The only reason it isn't get the full stars is because I can't seem to find a way to get the tabs to stay in their containers on restart.
Scratch that, which makes it more frustrating - only the personal container tabs that I had hidden during the day come out of their containers. If I had a personal container that I opened in the evening and therefore didn't hide since creating it --- they show up in their containers on restart perfectly fine.
So when I turn on the computer in the morning I have to spend time 'reopen in container' most of the tabs I had the day before. While dumbfoundedly looking at the random tabs that didn't get yeeted into the non-container space. - Rated 3 out of 5by Assistance, 5 years agoWhere are your novice training procedures? How does a user push content into different containers? How does a user modify incorrectly filed websites? How does a user access tree structure? Does anyone have a decent tutorial for this addon?

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13699166, 5 years agoThe latest version isn't working for me as every time I close my browser (85 64 bit) the extension doesn't work so I have to create new containers again - or am I missing something?
- Rated 3 out of 5by MaLeTurKa, 5 years agoits should be move containers in edit mode!!! i told it weeks ago!
