Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox

by customizer001, 6 years agoThis is an awesome add-on for Firefox. It's like having 2+ browsers within a single window. You can log into two different email accounts within the same window! You can open up two Amazon.com accounts via two different colored Containers! It's so awesome! User Interface Power to the MAX!
Personal Example: I have like 8 gmail accounts and it's a hassle to log into each account and check them via PC browsers (Thank goodness for the mobile gmail app, but sometimes you just gotta view an email from a PC). But with Firefox containers, I can easily open all 8 gmail accounts, each within it's own container. For example: my first, main gmail opens in a blue container. My second, secondary gmail opens in a red container. My third, junk email opens in a yellow container. I literally press the containers button, pick a color, open a new tap in said color, type in gmail.com or press the home button, and (since I have Firefox remember my passwords to my gmail accounts) it automatically loads just that email (for that color). In essence, I can check all 3 emails within a single browser window. Containers is convenient!
Technical Note: I've streamlined getting to my emails faster. I use another Firefox Quantum add-on, "New Tab Override" by Soren Hentzschel to actually get Firefox Quantum to automatically open a new tab specifically assigned to https://mail.google.com/. Now I can just: pick a container color (blue, red, yellow) and open a "new tab" in said color, and with "New Tab Override," I'm automatically redirected to https://mail.google.com/ . Yes, every time I open a new tab I'm redirected to https://mail.google.com/ but now I no longer have to type "gmail.com" into the url bar nor press the home button to load gmail for each of my container colors. That's 8 less clicks for me and I get to have Facebook be my homepage again!
Edit: Be careful when first opening up Firefox Quantum. You won't be in any Container. Instead you will be in a colorless container a.k.a. normal Firefox browser/window/tabs (vanilla Firefox). If anything, I ask that the developers make it so I can start Firefox in a specific colored Container. Also be careful when opening up a new tab in Firefox Quantum, the default new tab is a vanilla tab so you must hold the + symbol to open a specifically colored new tab.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dominic.tech, 2 days agoThis is my most used and favorite extension with for Firefox. A no brainer at work where I have to manage different Microsoft accounts with their multiple services.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14443769, 7 days agoA great tool to stay logged in on LinkedIn without sharing cookies to other sites.
NB: Searching google in such a container is not what one might want. It means you visit the results in the same container - so google will follow you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dan Lee, 7 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19248971, 8 days agoL'unica estensione che funziona bene come multi profilo social, l'ho dovuta usare con la versione 135 perchè con gli ultimi aggiornamenti si freezava sempre il gioco di facebook
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19016004, 10 days agoThe best way to keep work and personal tabs seperate. You don't have to bother with swapping accounts, just open a container and your login info is saved!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13874759, 17 days agoAdicionei sem querer uma 'página interna' à lista de sites forçados de um container. Aparece um ícone de globo cinza e nenhum texto. Tentei excluir clicando na lixeira ao lado. O item desaparece, mas a exclusão não é salva. Quando volto a mesma lista, o item está lá da mesma forma. Além disso, uma opção para exportar as listas de sites é um recurso desejável.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Rajneesh, 22 days agoUsing containers has really simplified my browsing experience - however what would really help is if there was a way to clear cookies, browsing history, local cache etc. for a specific container.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexis, 24 days agoSeems to work great. I'm concerned it might have broken Zotero citations in Google Docs, but I'm not sure it's not something else.
