Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

by Anonymous User, 6 years agoMonths later, this remains an incredible tool that is hamstrung by severe bugs.
For example: you can't sync containers between Windows and Linux. You can sync containers created in Firefox running on Linux with other Linux installations, and you can sync containers created in Firefox running on Windows with other Windows installations. But sync across OSes, and you'll wind up with two independent sets of containers synced to the same account.
Another example: the extension frequently spams dozens if not hundreds of additional containers. If my list looks like "Facebook / Google / Shopping", then one day I'll have "Facebook / Facebook / Google / Facebook / Google / Facebook / Facebook / Facebook / Facebook / Facebook / Shopping / Facebook / Google / Google / Google / etc". Because there's no way to clear out your sync data, the only way to fix this is to completely delete and re-create your Firefox sync account or trigger a password reset.
Another example: When you win a badge ("hooray! You just opened 100 tabs!"), it stops using containers. Eventually you'll click on the extension to find out why the heck it stopped working. That's when you find out that alerting you to whatever stupid "award" you've won is more important than actually doing the one job it has.
This has the potential to be a game changer, but it's just a half-baked pile of garbage.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Brown2Fox, 3 days agoIt must be killer feature of Firefox!
But there are some issues:
* Ability to edit domains assigned to container (not via deleting them and re-adding new one)
* Syncronization accross devices or at least ability to backup settings - Rated 5 out of 5by mashimom, 3 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by codexico, 12 days agoÉ boa, mas precisa de uma opção para abrir sempre em algum container.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Aanya, 12 days agoAmazing, just so amazing, seemless, and smooth! I love it so much! It has made my life so much easier! HIGHLY recommended if you have multiple emails or just prefer different profiles for different work.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ED04RD0, 15 days agoI find the app excellent and effective, but I would also like to signal that, when synching from a different Firefox browser operating in another language, the basic containers like work and bank were duplicated for the two languages, and that should be fixed. Keep up the good work!
