Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Mozilla Firefox

by Firefox user 13909021, 7 years agoSeems to work great so far, but I have a few suggestions.
Currently it doesn't appear that your settings sync between devices. I've got FireFox installed on both my work computer and my home computer, logged in on my personal email and everything synced between the two. I spent some time last night setting up my containers, and setting certain sites to only open in specific containers, etc. When I logged in on my work laptop, it shows all the original containers (none of the new ones I setup), and when I visit certain sites, they don't default to the container I configured on my home computer. This functionality would be great to have.
Another suggestion would be able to move an existing tab/site into a container. When I installed the addon, I had several tabs open. I had to open a specific container tab, then copy/paste the URL from the generic tab, to the container tab. It also doesn't appear to let you move the tab from one container to another.
I'm still getting used to the addon, so maybe this little nuances aren't as big of a deal, especially as I setup some default behaviors, but for me the biggest thing would be addon settings/containers syncing across browsers.
Edit: Oh, once you get the syncing of settings across devices, enabling this addon for mobile use would be awesome.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18190451, 2 days agoA extensão é ótima, funciona muito bem, outros navegadores concorrentes não tem uma extensão como essa gratuita. Os diferentes contêineres são facilmente identificados, evitando confusões.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Giordano, 3 days agoI'm completely satisfied with this extension. It allows to keep multiple sessions (i.e. session cookies) to the same website thus allowing multiple logins. As a developer I use this for verifying the functionality of webapps that have multiple roles. Thus extension fully replaces SessionBox that was available on Chrome and now no longer works. Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Christian, 3 days agoSimple, intuitive, works seamlessly. My main use case is to isolate IBM product administration consoles.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Pious B, 5 days agoSeparating FB from Instagram is tricky (Have the Facebook container extension too, that comes default with FF). Since it wants to always open those websites in the container. Managed to separate them the first time but somehow it kept erasing the Instagram session at every restart of the browser, didn't know how to restore that so had to nuke the container and start over.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cristian Pinto, 11 days agoMe sirve muchísimo cuando tengo que administrar varios sitios web al mismo tiempo, administrar varias cuentas de WhatsApp Business para mis negocios o cuando tengo que estudiar e iniciar sesión en una sola página al mismo tiempo, mil gracias por tan valiosa extensión, busqué algo similar en otros navegadores, pero Firefox es superior en todo. ¡Mi más sincero agradecimiento a los desarrolladores de esta extensión! (:

- Rated 2 out of 5by Nhr, 12 days agoThey separate single account with multi categories, not multi accounts. They claim that categories exist, but the way to open them is difficult – click here, then here, and choose from there. They may have ideas for the future, but for now, this is my review. Best wishes
- Rated 2 out of 5by aba, 12 days agoA good idea but completely unfinished.
Sync to a new browser always merges the default configuration without asking. The Sync does not sync the 'limit to designated sites' option, so you have to manually apply that to all the categories (while you clean out the merged in default configuration).
Management of the categories is woefully sub-par; how is there no way to manually add domains or wildcard domains to a category? Try keeping a service like Google in a 'limited' category and watch the SSO explode every time you go to maps dot google dot com because the browser doesn't stay on the auth redirect long enough to add it to the container though the UI.
It also breaks the firefox profiler, as the profiler can't load profiles from outside the category.
None of this bothered me when this feature was new, but it's been years. I wish I could recommend this and use it in earnest. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kemal, 13 days ago
