Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by bodwyn
Rated 1 out of 5
by bodwyn, 4 years agoAfter yesterday spending ages deleting TMP containers, today I synced a new install of Firefox on a different, new PC. All TMP containers were recreated. Terrible.
Downgraded from 4 to 1 stars.
A week later I have just deleted all the TMP containers 'synced' to my new machine.
Switched off sync in add-on settings. Closed and reopened Ffox, switched on sync in add-on settings and it put all the TMP containers back in.
Oh and it's now synced a website back into a container I had removed it from on both machines.
Clicking "Remember this decision for this site" or manually changing the site list for a container are ignored or overwritten. It keeps asking though as-if there is any function in any of the controls.
WHYYYYY? What is the intended purpose of any of these functions if all it does is sync back over the top undoing everything I do to try to clean up the mess it keeps replicating?
A community of conscientious supporters' time and energy would be better spent on how it /should/ work, why it is important in theory, and improvements - instead of barely getting it to function as intended and repeatedly cleaning up the mess it spreads everywhere.
A mess admittedly created by Temporary Containers but I haven't had that installed for several years but still have several hundreds of TMP containers to delete. Again.
Good theory.
There is a way to remove the hundreds of synced TMP containers created by Temporary Containers extension, but sync just undoes everything you do, so good luck.
Also ! Watch-out! The page jumps around so if you are trying to use it for what it's for: bulk removal, it's easy to delete ones you wanted to keep.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15096344, 4 days agoMulti Account Containers works great for me. I use all the time and have almost 20 containers. Note: I am NOT a bot!!!
- Rated 1 out of 5by What???, 5 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).

- Rated 5 out of 5by jgaray, 9 days agoUna de las extensiones más útiles de Firefox; para mí, indispensable. Facilita enormemente la gestión y acceso a sitios web con usuarios distintos.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SpiritGrid, 11 days agoThe is the most useful feature in Firefox in my opinion. That I can set up addresses to open automatically in different containers is incredibly useful. It makes using multiple work accounts pretty great, even though it is sometimes a pain.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hugo Hoenderboom, 11 days agoSuper useful to switch between different accounts in seperate containers, within one browser! cannot recommend anything else that's better than this.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Eviscerator, 12 days agoКак всегда задумка огонь, реализация для галочки. Нельзя: 1) посмотреть установленные правила в каком контейнере открываются сайты, отредактировать/удалить эти правила без удаления контейнера; 2) очистить конкретный контейнер от куков; 3) добавить свои изображения для контейнеров; 4) сделать так, что бы автоматически создавался контейнер для каждого нового сайта.
На первый взгляд расширение полезное, но когда начинаешь пользоваться... приходит понимание насколько оно не доделано. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19011367, 12 days ago
