Seems as though Mozilla VPN client (stand-a-lone app) must be turned on in order for containers to fully function as expected (that is the VPN client I'm using). But the VPN app already encrypts all traffic. If this ext is just to segregate tabs for quick access and set specific endpoints then great job Mozilla. I was more interested in having the web traffic routed through VPN without needing to have the VPN client active. Like if you are gaming on one screen while shopping on another, esp. if the game requires Anti-cheat, having the VPN enabled doesn't work. Maybe its just my understanding of what this is intended for...? pssst... new feature Mozilla :). In any case it works great for keeping tabs organized into buckets, as well as setting individual VPN endpoints for each.
