THIS WONT WORK (THE EASY WAY):
--------------------------------------
Misleading quote: "Avoid leaving social-network footprints all over the web (for example, you could use a Container tab for signing in to a social network, and use a different tab for visiting online news sites, keeping your social identity separate from tracking scripts on news sites)."
You'll need to add an option to change its behavior. When opening a site in a container (e.g. Bing-search) - clicking a link - the new (unassigned) site will stay in the same container thus enabling tracking. Pretty useless this way. Although useful for using different profiles, it's not secure/private.
Options to add (user-decided behavior):
- Open new unassigned sites in the default container, a temporary container or current container (you can reassign later)
- Switch/assign (via toolbar button) the current site to different container (assign/move/copy to a new container for site)
- Changing to a new container will open a new tab or use the current tab (a new tab to avoid losing *cursing* history)
- Option to open web sites in their own containers without the user assigning a container (auto-created for TLD's) *
- Possibility to select a default container for a site assigned to multiple containers or use last container used
- Possibility to sort container labels
- Add an overview of which site/data is contained in which container
- Try to also use the omni-box for extra functions (assigned container switching) since the container-label is already there
* When reassigned by user the auto-created container is renamed or merged with an existing container
EDIT 1: Rating lowered from 2 to 1 star until problems are solved. Totally wrong implementation (the omni-box becoming useless and is imprisoned by this add-on). I get the idea but it's wrong. Visiting Facebook, then entering a different URL, will keep you in the Facebook container. Track-track-track. Just too much concentration and handling is needed to keep things real secure. For now this extension is just a kind of identity switcher within the same Firefox user-profile. Why not then just create an add-on to switch to another user-profile with a toolbar drop down-menu? At least that's clear and transparent. This surely isn't! For this to work properly you've to create a container for every URL/cluster of sites you visit. We need Firefox Web Clusters/Containers.
EDIT 2: Found out that sites are currently not even linked to containers (only cache/cookie data) which was not my assumption. It starts your selected container and stores data in that container separating data from other containers. The problem here is that selecting a default container for a specific site results in not being able to switch accounts for that specific site. A contradicting (dis)function.
Abstract/Résumé:
- You can switch profiles by selecting containers in the toolbar-button (entering the URL again)
- Ones assigned to a specific default container, you can't switch profiles
- You'll need to be careful entering websites you're not willing to have in the container since this enables tracking *
- To protect you from tracking you'll need (an) extension(s) that isolates Facebook, etc. from all other containers **
* You'll notice you're logged off from web sites (don't log in but start a new container). This extension is (not) for dummies.
** There's a Facebook container that doesn't work i.c.w. other forks (Google, Twitter, etc.). Also you can't switch profiles.
EDIT 3: For a workable solution install these extra add-ons
- Switch Container (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-container/)
- Temporary Containers (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/)

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Vinicius Menezes, för 5 dagar sedanad tracking generally gotten worse (which generally is a good sign) after I adopted some measures: tab containers, firefox relay, ad block ultimate, fastfoward and jslibcache. Thank god to all these privacy enhancing technologies!

We need this functionality on Android! - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 18983433, för 10 dagar sedan

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av WadamT, för 14 dagar sedanA useful extension to have multiple accounts in one profile and having option to limit sites only to a container is good for privacy. Hope sync with Firefox account better with time, right now some tabs forget what containers they were in during new install.

- Betygsatt 4 av 5av Firefox-användare 18939196, för 16 dagar sedanExcellente fonctionnalité !
Quelques soucis d’ergonomie ralentissent la prise en main (comme si les dev n'étaient pas encore sûrs d'eux et ne souhaitaient pas trop imposer la fonctionnalité).
Il manque par ailleurs une fonction décisive : la synchronisation des containers entre les différents appareils (à moins que je n'ai pas encore découvert comment faire ?)
A part ça, c'est vraiment une solution excellente pour nous permettre de protéger notre vie privée, merci ! - Betygsatt 5 av 5av falafel_king, för 16 dagar sedan
