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 3 out of 5by CrankySmores, 3 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, 3 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by FF user 0, 9 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 1 out of 5by What???, 14 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).
