- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13932783, 7 years agoThis extension works great! Subtle icon, doesn't slow down my browser, and works as expected once it is set up. Note: each website does need to be opened in the proper container the first time to set it up correctly.
I would love to be able to set up website blocks/timers, so I can block going on social media when I should be working. I haven't been able to find the extension I was using for this before. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13902321, 7 years agoThis extension is great for keeping your various on-line accounts separated. In the world of multiple Google, Microsoft, etc. accounts, using this extension allows you to be signed in to all of them at the same time (in separate tabs).
I would like to see a few more features around managing the containers - e.g. being able to re-order them to my liking. Also, allowing custom colors and icons.
I would also like the ability to right-click a tab that is open in the "Default" container and switch it to another container.
Finally, adding the ability to sync my container settings across machines would be the icing on the cake :-)
Keep it up! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13437305, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13929786, 7 years agoI love how easy it is to use. It would be a full 5 stars if you could convert or reopen a tab in the container. Otherwise, it's a great app.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Robert, 7 years agoGreat way to isolate accounts from each other. The 'always open in container' feature is nice. I do wish you could make shortcuts to new tab containers, though. If you've got work & personal accounts for particular services this is a must-have plugin.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13274262, 7 years agoThere were some issues earlier like reset back to default containers and loose my options, but it worked well for the last weeks.
**Removed text**, found the feature to list all domains and edit the domain list in the current version. Great! - Rated 4 out of 5by zvesda, 7 years agoIt is obvious that having silos, or isolated brower sessions per tab is a good idea unless you are fine with being tracked about the web.
This solution for Firefox works well for me, as far as I can tell, and is relatively easy to use. It takes some time to setup and each website you visit belonging to an organization that you want to put into a specific container needs to be placed manually into that container (you can't seem to set a wildcard via the front-facing interface?).
But when done, you just surf and tabs open up naturally and all that you've asked to be isolated is: just as I'd want its functionality to behave. - Rated 4 out of 5by colby_cheese, 7 years agoThis is a great start. A few small changes would make a big difference. If there was a way to set one container as the default where all new tabs (unless specified otherwise) went into that container, that would be great. Most of my tabs are work, so it would be nice to have that be the default one.
Also, I'd like it to automatically reset a tab to a certain container like it does to facebook, just by what site I went to. For example, I'd like that same functionality for facebook to apply to Twitter, Pinterest, and other social media. If there was a way to integrate sites that are saved as bookmarks with containers, that might be a great way to do it.
Keep up the good work on privacy. You're the only group that seems to be doing it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13239242, 7 years agoVery much follows the spirit of "Tab Groups" from the old FireFox.
However, a list of critiques:
- Support for FireFox Sync is almost mandatory for next update priority. The lack of being able to sync my container definitions between all my PCs is going to be deal-breaking if it's not addressed.
- Tab Right-Click assignment of container group.
- Wider range of colors and icons would be nice.
- A better customization experience for power users to control how sites and tabs are categorized, and the edit process for container definitions.
You're on the right track. Please listen to the feedback! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13923918, 7 years agoGreat addon. One thing I would like to see is the option to only open new tabs in containers for sites that have them assigned. If I open a link from a Google search, I don't want it to remain in my container for Google, even if that means forcing them to always opening a new tab.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13462815, 7 years agoVery good add-on. Two extra functionalities would be helpful. First, the ability to sort the containers alphabetically or just rearranging them. Second, synchronisation across different computers.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bill, 7 years agoit is good at protecting privacy, I use it to put facebook in its own container. I hope that all tabs can be put in containers automatically instead of opening them first and then search in them.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Michel S., 7 years agoVery useful extension, with a few shortcomings:
- no integration with the Third-party Cookie setting -- if I only allow 3rd party cookies from sites I've already visited, ideally this is localized per container (so if I have visited SocialNetworkA in its own container, I don't get its cookie when visiting SensitiveSiteB in a different container)
- not being able to reorder containers -- as I create more and more containers, it's getting to the point where I want them sorted alphabetically, but that's not possible unless I created them in the right order
- container icons a bit limited - would be great to be able to use a specified domain's favicon as the container logo - Rated 4 out of 5by Naurhir, 7 years agoPlease add the ability to synchronize our containers across our devices / account.
If this isn't possible to do easily / safely, then please add the ability to export and import the configuration, so I can copy the config manually.
Thanks - Rated 4 out of 5by dserodio-1364597266.72, 7 years agoI love it and use it everyday. I just wish the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Period) was customizable.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13921310, 7 years agoGreat stuff! Only thing I miss is, that you can assign whole domains (incl. all subdomains) to a container, rather than just specific (sub-)domains.
- Rated 4 out of 5by GammaFunction, 7 years agoSeparating by site name is good, but more fine-grained control would be appreciated: a preferences page where a user can edit the match rules to any regex: Personally, I want to open reddit.com/r/a in container a, and reddit.com/r/b in container b.
Also, it loses my data fairly often fairly often. Either making the extension more robust or allowing us to export/import data would be great. - Rated 4 out of 5by K.S, 7 years agoIt would be 5 stars with the ability to change the order of the Container list and (I just found this out by looking at a few of the reviews) the ability to sync to other devices!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Adam Burch, 7 years agoThe ONLY reason this isn't a 5 star review is that there's no way to sync containers across multiple devices. Other than that, it's great!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12649351, 7 years agoI like it, good way to organize and separate multiple domain surfing.
Although, It's missing some features, like:
+Clearing the browsing history for a single Container.
+Make a Container like Private Mode, doesn't keep data.
+Overall some more stuff regarding privacy by container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Derek88, 7 years agoSeems like a great idea and I thank Mozilla for creating it. My only problem is, even when I click the box saying, "Always open in..." the specified container. The next time I go to the site, it somesimes stays on the default container.
In other words, it would be nice if containers were automatically detected every time we visit a site that was placed in a container. - Rated 4 out of 5by sigu, 7 years agoWhen I first heard about this I thought of how I would sandbox facebook from accessing my other data. Worked perfectly well.
I would have given it a 5 star if there was a way to remember the settings. Maybe an integration with firefox sync - Rated 4 out of 5by Zeeshan Ali Qureshi, 7 years agoit'll be good if we can open bookmarks in selected container by right click > select conainer.
