Reviews for Firefox Multi-Account Containers
Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by Craig A.
Rated 4 out of 5
by Craig A., 6 years agoWonderful tool for keeping your browsing efforts separated and fenced off from nosy Bots.
Seems like I had to do three things to make reopening in the right container "auto-magic";
Open a new tab in the "Amazon" container (long click on '+'). Past the URL into the new Amazon container tab.
Click the Multi-container symbol and select "Always open in Amazon"
Open a non-container tab and paste the URL, select "Remember my decision to always open in Amazon container"
After all 3 of these steps are done, the URL will always open in the selected container.
Once these 3 steps are done you're all set. However there are currently 2 things missing from this and other "container tools";
1. Easy Export/backup/restore/Import of container rules. It would be lovely if this capability were available in CSV and JSON formats. [Necessary for setup of multiple machines without Sync, and off-site storage of config(s)]
2. An easy way to Edit container rules beyond just delete and start over. This will allow quickly changing custom behavior(s). #1 might take this issue toward "feasible".
I put my own website (with multiple applications) in a container to keep nosy bots out of my site cookie jars.
Great idea, love having this feature. I'm tired of having everything I looked at on Amazon.com show up in my Facebook feed. This is a win for privacy and giving browser experience control back to the user. No other browser appears to have these tools, just Firefox.

- Rated 3 out of 5by CrankySmores, 2 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, 2 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by FF user 0, 8 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15096344, 13 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???, 13 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).
