- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15155973, 6 years agoDoes the job but as the description says, unlike FB container, doesn't prevent you from opening links in the wrong container and this kind of defeats its purpose. Additionally, after I carefully created a number of containers, it mysteriously forgot all of them and reset itself to its initial state. Not cool.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15532255, 6 years agoOk in the desktop browser but pointless when the iOS does not support extensions, so will go back to using separate browsers to separate out my work and personal profiles.
- Rated 2 out of 5by MikT, 6 years agoThis extension worked fine for me before. But since one year my different conainters don't remember my 2 gmail accounts, so i'm forced to relog each time. Reinstall of firefox doens't solve the matter.
If someone has any other advice or other extention to recommend, i'm all ears. - Rated 2 out of 5by crisco.lord, 6 years agoThis add-on is basically the only reason I use Firefox, and it has so many issues that I frequently contemplate leaving it.
Syncing across multiple devices (Windows, Mac, Linux) just doesn't work. It doesn't. On Windows I have 4 duplicate "Home" containers that reappear every time I sync. On Linux I get over 10,000 "Personal" containers. On Mac, who knows. I delete the extra containers (or try, on Linux), and next time I sync a device, they're back! It's maddening!
Now on Linux I've uninstalled and reinstalled a dozen times, and it won't add my custom groups. Where did they go? Why is this so hard? - Rated 2 out of 5by yas, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by katinka, 6 years agoI wanted to have gmail (my work account) in one container, and gmail( my private account) in another. The whole thing breaks which makes the extension pretty much worthless.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Niklas, 6 years agoGreat concept but not useable for me. For example I use DuckDuckGo "bangs" a lot. For visiting Twitter I type !tw in to DuckDuckGo. I want to automatically switch containers when I visit Twitter however with a redirect (like with duckduckgo bangs) I have an "empty" tab in the default container and a new one with twitter which is pretty annoying. I hope this get's improved in the future.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13176119, 6 years agoThe idea is great, it worked great. It took me weeks to finetune everything and really think about what I would like to open in which container. Had a few problems with webshops opening in one container and the bank to pay in a different one. Also quite a few 'prove that you are who you say you are by clicking the link in your email' type of situations, which were opened in the wrong tabs. Everything in the end worked great! But then I had a problem with firefox and decided to refresh firefox. Normally not a problem, due to sync I have all my settings back within a few minutes. But every site was opening without containers. I waited and waited and waited and waited... Yeah, no link to sync. Bye bye weeks of work to get 12 containers work brilliantly.
Since one of the most important functions is completely missing... only 2* otherwise 5*Developer response

posted 6 years agoThe add-on now supports sync! https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/02/06/multi-account-containers-sync/ - Rated 2 out of 5by UnknownEngineer, 7 years agoGreat idea, lazy execution.
Often fails to contain certain sites in their containers, popup for confirming a site be exclusively handled in given container sometimes unusable. Containers are a single flat list.
All that is minor, for an official addon it cannot sync settings, and settings are partially lost when disabled. Sites contained in default containers will be remembered, custom containers permanently lost.
If you are going to delete everything on disable (not remove), for any reason, at-least be thorough.
TLDR: Bare minimum functionality, still buggy. Is being an example an excuse for being poorly done?Developer response

Works great until all of the container configuration disappears and it for some reason reverts to the original four default containers it comes with upon installation. I hope it gets better. It is pretty frustrating to recreate ~10 containers and assign dozens of web sites to each of them more than once. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14981045, 7 years agoSimple and useful application, but... It deleted all of my containers when I disabled it for short time.. so it should be? Then how to restore containers?

- Rated 2 out of 5by princereynart, 7 years agoGreat idea in principle, but after having lost all my custom containers yet again after an update, it seems like far more trouble than it is worth.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14733564, 7 years agoAs this extension stands, it doesn't offer enough options to be truly powerful. You can't make websites truly exclusive to their containers (at least I haven't found that option) and you can't have containers that wipe out their data after you stop using them (essentially mini private tabs) and the developers don't seem to be interested in such features.
It's OK but nothing special. Too simplistic to be really useful in actuality. - Rated 2 out of 5by brianary, 7 years agoThis extension (which I've become dependent on) has stopped working recently. Now I'm given a choice to open a site in a given container, but the button doesn't do anything.

[i don't want to put a note, but i have to. it's not good] - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14381544, 7 years agoVery limited. Very easy to use different container by mistake. CTRL-click inside one container opens tab in different one. New tab (Firefox "empty" page) is unaffected by container - shows pages opened in all containers.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14315591, 7 years agoHelpful, but would love new tabs to either automatically select a container or give the option to select a container.
