This just isn't what I want. In Chrome I have two separate profiles: work, and home. This lets me have work and home specific history, extensions, and settings. Opening a new tab in one doesn't bleed into the other. This is what I want. It's literally the only thing keeping me in Chrome these days. Firefox used to have something like this in the past, but it's either buried deep inside some obscure setting or has bee…
On a related note, does Firefox implement something like Safari's "Intelligent Tracking Prevention"[0] that times out third-party cookies?

A question for clarification: Containers don't prevent the browser from leaking information such as the addons and fonts installed, right? In other words, the browser fingerprint would still be revealed? If this is the case then containers might be an okayish first step but may convey a false sense of security to the user.
The security and ease-of-use is simply a separate storage for sessions / cookies / etc for each container. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you're concerned about privacy and leaking information there are a TON of tweaks you can do to about:config or via a user.js file such as: https://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/18/a-comprehensive-list-of-fi...

It still has it, although is not as easy to access as in Chrome. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiple_profile...
I love this feature, but it seems missing a critical thing. You can say 'always open websites A1, A2, A3 in container Y' but you can't say 'container Y only hosts websites A1, A2, A3'. After time the container gets polluted with cookies from links clicked on website Ax. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. Edit: replaces 1 website with multiple websites Edit 2 : Another useful feature, would be cookie policy per container…
I want different settings for different containers. Sure, isolating cookies is helpful, but let me send them through different proxies too.

As soon as this is implemented directly into Firefox and easily accessible, I'll ditch chrome for good. I rely too much on separate profiles to give this feature up.
Is there a way I can convert a current tab to a container? I press by default and maybe I want to sort it later. That is, without opening a new container and copy pasting the address.
I do like that you can hide containers or manipulate them as a group. This has great organizational benefits.

It's not quite as elegant as chrome, but you can go to about:profiles to manage profiles from within firefox. It allows you to create/delete profiles and launch a given profile in a new window.
