- 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by JGTavistar, 5 years agoI've been using this since shortly after it was released to separate logins to the same site by different users; for example, when testing a user account while logged in as an administrator. I also use it to log in to Office 365 with different user accounts while supporting multiple clients.
The recent UI change did seem inconvenient (more a matter of interrupting the flow) but seems to have been a necessary compromise to allow additional functions. Instead of left-click, left-click on the icon, it's right-click, left-click on the "Open a new tab..." button. Change is good, humans are capable of learning new ways of doing things without whining.
The new font in the list allows me to see all of my Containers.
One suggestion for a future enhancement would be the ability to sort or manually order my list of containers. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14291709, 5 years agoThe last update made this plugin sadly a pain to use. Giving this 1 Star till it's fixed.
Update: As someone else mentioned here, there is still a 2 click option by right clicking the default Firefox "+" Tab.
But a reminder for this new feature would have been very useful.Developer response
posted 5 years agoWe have made a couple fixes in 7.0.1: We restored keyboard arrow navigation and changed the main panel behavior back so that clicking on the container opens a tab. - Rated 5 out of 5by vamik, 5 years agoI downgraded to version 6.2.5. New update 7.0.0. it's unusable.
Update: Great! Version 7.0.1. it works. Again 5 stars. Thx.Developer response

UPD: thank you. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14220894, 5 years agoI am glad they fix the problem and I have been using a lot but the only downside is that it can't be used in private mode. Could you do something about it please?
- Rated 5 out of 5by NickdeClaw, 5 years agoPlease revert the UI to allow one click for new container tabs. We primarily use containers to log into the same site multiple times on different accounts. No need to look at rarely-used menu options every time we want to open a new tab. Those menu options can't automate the primary use case.
Edit: Thanks for fixing this! - Rated 1 out of 5by Rick, 5 years agoHow is this a Recommended Extension?
Mozilla doesn't have to follow their own rules?

This problem has existed for so long and apparently no one knows how to fix it.
And now you got the new Ui problem and new glitches, just check the recent reviews. So glad i knew not to update. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13845155, 5 years agoIt went from being a good extension to something really bad, with just one update

However, the most recent UX update is so laughably bad that I need to find another option. Multiple clicks are now required to perform the most used function of the extension.
Update: thanks for listening to users feedback and fixing the issue. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16021992, 5 years agoTheir latest update made this extension annoying to use. As others have said, now I have to click multiple times to open a new container. I will wait for a few weeks just to see if they read our reviews, but if they don't, I will uninstall it. A shame, because I truly liked this extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10244801, 5 years agoAfter latest update hundreds of temporary containers keep on showing up. I can delete them but they are back after a restart. Really crappy update!
