- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12269025, 8 years agoContainers have become an essential part of my workflow for managing multiple accounts, improving privacy, and isolating contexts like work/home life in the same browser. Admittedly, containers will probably never be a perfect solution (e.g. I still don't have a way to ensure that my Google drive link from the electron Slack app opens in the right container for the right Google account)... but Multi-Account containers extension smooths out most of the rough spots by enabling some sites to always stay in a container, and adding convenient keyboard commands and context menu options to open sites in a specific container. It doesn't seem like this extension provides a shortcut for "new tab in the same container", but I'd like to see that added. For now, I have installed another extension that sets that feature to Alt + C. Great extension;, though! I'd love to see it on android.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14003695, 8 years agoIt's what I was looking for since a long time.
It works great and increase the flexibility of Firefox in a great way.
Now I can have multiple accounts for the same website all opened using my favorite browser.
That's great for work, where I need, for example, two separate logins for Dropbox.
Thus far, it worked great.
The only function I'd like to be developed, is the possibility of 'converting' one opened container into another... but I believe it's not straightforward, since one of the feature is to grant isolation between them... - Rated 5 out of 5by lukasz wasylewicz, 8 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Villegas, 8 years agoYou can add Password Pop-up?
For an example:
I open my personal multi-account tab, when i press it
that container requires my password to continue - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13482384, 8 years agoI love this add on. I think it's particular great if you are in IT or any place where you have multiple access levels in different accounts to the same service.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jaykul, 8 years agoI love these multi-account containers, and I'm not just using them to force Facebook and other social media sites into specific containers, but also to allow myself multiple simultaneous identities when testing websites, etc.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13572610, 8 years agoTo have to open multiple accounts on the same service is an old problem which I usually solve using private mode or multiple browser.
Today, this is one of the most useful Firefox add-ons. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tiffany Bennett, 8 years agoSuper helpful for me to deal with work vs personal accounts on the myriad websites that don't support multiple sign-in.
Far better than janky solutions like constantly signing in on a private browsing window, or using a second browser like Edge for certain accounts. Way less time wasted compared to constantly signing out and back into accounts, especially when considering 2fa.
The one thing that feels missing which I wish it had, was some sort of button to switch the container that a tab is in. I'll open a link to a tweet and it'll be in the default tab, in order to put it in a container I have to copy the URL, open a new container tab, and paste it in. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13522774, 8 years agoThe most innovative add-on I've seen in a long time.
The ability to isolate tabs to containers and use multiple accounts from the same domain in the same browser is really useful.
Also, the privacy factor, stopping FB, Google, and Advertisers from tracking you across the web because the cookies etc. are isolated to each container is simply awesome.
However, for some reason I am unable to save articles to Instapaper using the Instapaper add-on, if someone could let me know how to overcome this issue that would be great. :-)
