- Rated 2 out of 5by aba, 10 hours 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, a day ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Philip, 5 days agoOffers to sync with android, but the extension is not available for android (doesn't appear in search results) therefore impossible to sync with multi account containers on Pixel 7a. Don't know how this will work with multi account containers on my laptop not syncing with my phone

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12245859, 7 days agoAs it says it in the description, it lets you keep different profiles for different use-cases. And helps avoid the cross-site cookies from tracking your activities across multilple sites. e.g. allows you to keep your shopping and social media browsing separated.
While you could do this yourself by managing multiple profiles, this extension simplifies the process and makes it easier to do so. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15144451, 10 days agoAdd-on is in Russian and it is NOT the language of my OS nor FF. I don't see the option to change the language. It doesn't spark confidence in this add-on in current geopolitical situation.

posted 10 days agoSorry that's not working for you. The add-on should match the language of your Firefox browser. I checked the source files and everything should be in English. Can you check https://support.mozilla.org/kb/containers and file a support request? - Rated 5 out of 5by WRX384150, 11 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mauricio Bejota, 14 days agoUna extensión muy útil que me permite usar diferentes cuentas bajo la misma ventana y navegador de manera muy cómoda. Es una de las ventajas de Firefox 🦊🙌
- Rated 2 out of 5by gpsarathy, 14 days agoIts good, but half baked. Instead of using profiles, we should be able to isolate history within each container and have default container option. Thats the only basic expectation for this extension

- Rated 5 out of 5by Eggzilla, 15 days agoSuch an amazing feature. I doubt I even know fully the benefits this provides, but it is a cool feature that has kept me from choosing other browsers that lack it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by FFReviewAccount, 17 days agoDoes exactly what it's meant to do. Great addon for protection against cross site tracking.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Eugenio, 20 days agoUsing this plugin is much better and easier than creating profiles in Firefox manually, because instead of having to open a new window for each profile, with this plugin you can view different profiles in a single window.
This greatly minimizes memory usage (up to 5 times less).
Browsing between profiles is much more intuitive and organized, as you can distinguish each profile by the color of the tab and identify the name of the profile that is displayed in the navigation bar.
This plugin is without a doubt the best profile manager currently available in all browsers I have used.
