Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by Volodymyr Telnov
Rated 4 out of 5
by Volodymyr Telnov, 5 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.

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 3 out of 5by CrankySmores, 8 days ago-1 Stars: Can't add hosts/domains manually. This limits the usefulness of this extension considerably, as almost every site redirects from one domain to another, especially for authentication. Please allow me to arbitrarily add domains to the list. It would also be nice if I could have an "add all domains accessed in this tab session to the list for this container" option, to capture any domains redirected to automatically, but manual addition would at least be sufficient.
Pro-tip for anyone else bothered by this: in about:config, set network.http.redirection-limit to 0, and it will stop all redirection temporarily to allow you to add arbirary redirecting domains to this extension. Be sure to set it back to 20 or whatever afterwards.
-0.5 Stars: Can't skip the tutorial when installing the extension. I understand the desire for the intro if you're new, but its clear that the lack of a skip is so that extra products can be cross-sold. Please add a skip option for this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jose Angel Piqueras, 8 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by FF user 0, 14 days agoIt works well for nearly 3 years. I am using portable firefox with multi-ac containers for nears 3 years, I have 10 containers, those of them have different user agent, but suddently, since yesterday, all containers share the same user agent and cannot set different user agents for each container alternately.

- Rated 1 out of 5by What???, 19 days agoAll the positive reviews claiming this extension works are either bots or AI. The fact is it doesn't work especially on Meta (Facebook pages).
