Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by Volodymyr Telnov
Rated 4 out of 5
by Volodymyr Telnov, 6 years agoUPDATE:
I really need the containers to be grouped (for easier access and management), manually sorted and bookmarked with container information attached to be easily restored.
I am developing a web site. I have test users with their roles on site. For each user I created an individual container. 6 roles require 6 pages to be restored every time I reload the browser. I want them be restored automatically in their respective container at the time when the Bookmark was created. One site, several bookmarks with individual containers for each test user/role.
ORIGINAL REVIEW 2 years ago
I used to open Chrome for one Google account and Firefox for another. To check business emails on Gmail and to view videos on YouTube, for example. It consumed quite a lot of resources on my old Dell Vostro 3700. Now, I can manage all my "personas" in Firefox alone, which I personally like more.
But, the new "problem" now is it's hard to find necessary tab on Windows task panel. So, I suggest, that not only individual tabs can be marked as containers, but every FireFox window could be assigned a default "persona" with different coloring and EVEN logo (I like the Fox, but sometimes it'd be useful to have those personalized icons to faster localize necessary tabs). PS. I use A LOT OF tabs (up to 50 in one session, I guess). So, saving time trying to locate a necessary tab would be cool.
On the whole, this is a really cool feature which is worth taking time to understand how to use. Firefox, please make a new button - Learn the Feature - so that it would be like an ed course with games, videos and tests (reading is boring and confusing, as you know).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18099698, 4 days agoThis is so useful to keep your cookies and accounts separated and a really nice and clever way to stop some tracking.

- Rated 5 out of 5by superoci, 7 days agoVery useful extensions, especially when you have multiple accounts on a site and don't want to constantly log in or out or when you just don't want a site to access data from other sites you visit on your main profile.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14013255, 13 days agoIt's only because of this extension that I use Firefox. Cool feature. There is no such option in any browser.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15082755, 17 days agoThis is one of the core plugins I use (in addition to Ublock Origin).
With the account sync, containers are also remembered across different computers as well, so I don't have to set up the containers on every new laptop or reinstall of firefox. Sometimes I mistakenly open a website in the wrong container because I don't always map every single website to a container, but most of the time it's a non-issue.
I'm surprised this is still an add-on and not a core Firefox feature. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18184964, 18 days agoIt doesn't work for me. I cannot create a container where I am logged into Google and simultaneously a container where I'm not logged in.
