- Rated 5 out of 5by Zeeno, 2 years agoExactly what i was looking for.
Better than the multi-account container extension from mozilla(I just use it to "manage" my containers).
It's just one click to show all containers and one another to open tabs in it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Vedun, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ruben, 5 years agoThis is so useful for me - having different 'hats' and organisations I do work for I use it every day. Also for testing websites with different user-roles, and for general privacy, its invaluable. The multi-account container tool by itself doesn't cut it because inevitably open tabs in the wrong account. One improvement - if it worked on a blank tab - ie when you first open a new tab, it could already reload in the profile you want, then I could remove the multi-account button all together, that would be nice.

Developer response
posted 5 years agoDue to limitations on what add-ons are allowed to do related to web security, tabs can't actually change containers. This add-on is a work around this limitation: it's not changing the tab, but rather duplicating the tab into a new one that comes inside a container. It's therefore inevitable for it to reload the page and also lose the tab's history. - Rated 5 out of 5by THX1138, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alexey Murz Korepov, 6 years agoVery useful on desktop, but don't switch containers on Android version
Developer response
posted 6 years agoThis was an oversight on my part, since I don't access to the Android version. The add-on will be officially declared as non-compatible with Android in the following version. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13546912, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13407887, 7 years agogood! this is what i needed all that time.
but if design popup bar in extensions will be more native it will be perfect! - Rated 5 out of 5by Matt, 7 years agoI haven't used containers much, but I would like to, and FF Quantum as-is just doesn't suffice. As a web designer, Reddit moderator, and as a serious power user, sometimes I need to access pages without being logged into my main accounts, or preview CSS/layout changes, and even work on multiple accounts at a time. This plugin makes it far easier to utilize Containers as they should be.

I recommend the DejaVu family of fonts. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mike, 7 years agoI don't know how this isn't part of the default container add-on. It's absolutely necessary so you can assign sites to the proper containers as you encounter them.
