- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16148625, 5 years agoThis add-on is absurdly useful for Enterprise IT administrators. It enables easy use of dedicated admin identities into separate containers for isolation form normal productivity work, and is particularly useful in contexts like Microsoft 365 / Azure where logging in to the same URLs multiple times in the same browser needs to happen with separate identities that have separate permissions granted.
Multi-Account Containers is a game changer for how I interact with a web browser. It's one of those pieces of technology that once you use it the first time, you simply can't go back to the older means of interaction absent the new features ever again. The degree of quality of life improvement I've received in using this add-on is gigantic, probably the most impactful change since discovering tabbed browsing in the late 1990s. - Rated 4 out of 5by UnnamedMinecrafter, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by patrikstutz, 5 years agoThanks for bringing back the "one click to open new container tab" feature :)
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13080084, 5 years agoIt was excellent until the latest update. This is so stupid and create extra clicks and avoid shortcut and avoid automation potential. This is a stupid update.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Argot, 5 years agoWhy did the new version interpose an added click to do what was done before? It's possible to keep the existing path to open a new tab in a container while adding an option to do more without any more clicks than in previous versions.
- Rated 3 out of 5by junkwerks, 5 years agoVersion 7 is too cumbersome to use now. Too many clicks required to open a container, the menu is now in the way of accessing the containers in the first place. Web browsers are mouse driven interfaces - I shouldn't have to remember what container is what menu number (oh, and I recently changed those), fumble around on the keyboard for yet another obscure key combination. Great idea, wrong execution.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16139911, 5 years agoPlease go back to one click to open a new container !!!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Zeror, 5 years agoThe new update is a downgrade to this wonderful extension. The way it was good. Now not so much. Why?
We have to do two clicks to open a tab. And half of the time opening a new tab isn't even working for me. Clearly a broken addon and not properly tested (in UI/UX).
Please fix this!!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14433388, 5 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15267213, 5 years agoAfter recent update, I have to go through 2 click to open a specific type of container?
Why I need to do this while I just want to open new tab in a container, why I have to see all tabs in that cointainer? - Rated 3 out of 5by stevanuhk, 5 years agoNew UI is not good, I need 1 step more to open my container on new tab, I use this container to reduce my flow, the new UI juat add the step on the flow.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13592200, 5 years agoI use this daily, but with this new update, opening links in a specified container is such a PITA. Before, I would ctrl + . then tab one or two (or n) to the specified container to open a new tab in. Now, that opens some other menu where I have to keep navigating.
Reading through release notes, there states "new keyboard shortcuts" which I assume are to solve the issue above, but I can't find _any_ documentation about it! What are the shortcuts? Even the "about this extension" only shows the old ctrl + . shortcut. Breaking users' flow is a software sin, especially if you don't provide information on how to restore/replace it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11742866, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Carlos, 5 years agoA must-have add-on if you use multiple accounts on different services (like work and private accounts).
Unfortunately, since the last update it is not possible to use the keyboard shortcut and select a container with the arrow keys, making the extension unusable.
Edit: This issue has been fixed and I can use the extension normally. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16135960, 5 years agoBeen using for years for dealing with a huge number of aws/azure accounts.
Would like the ability to set a 'homepage' for certain containers. 'Always Open This Site In' is close, but I have several containers (for example for individual AWS accounts) that all use the same login url, which this doesnt work for as it would always open in the same container.
UI change in version 7.0.0 was completely unnecessary, was previously quick to open tabs. Using long press on the + button instead as suggested by other reviewers until I work out how to revert to the previous version. - Rated 5 out of 5by anupz, 5 years agoThis is one of my favourite addons. I migrated to Firefox completely from Chrome and other browsers due to this and mainly Privacy security.
With the new UI updated and the keyboard shortcuts for container tabs, its even more awesome. The update had some confusions, because there werent proper onboarding for it. Once its setup and we know how to use, its better now.
I miss the following things still :-
1. Sort the container tabs in the container menu. This is a basic feature which is missing I guess.
2. A shortcut to open a new tab in the same container we are currently in. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13406053, 5 years agowould be nice to have middle click on '+' to open container dropdown, instead of having to long press it.
Or keyboard shortcuts for opening a specific container group, not just ctrl+. to open dropdown.
