Same! I have three (dev, stg, prd) aws accounts. Without containers, I'd need to log in and out to jump between s3/emr/etc buckets between environments. With firefox containers I can run all three concurrently.
One can do that with ff profile, right? Is the only different between this containers vs profile the container is tab base vs profile will be different windows?
Firefox Multi-Account contains are awesome for software development and testing! At my work we usually work at tools which have three roles: user, reviewer, administrator so I generally have three containers for these user accounts. This means I can be logged in with all the accounts I need for testing in the same web browser without resorting to private mode (which does not remember cookies between sessions anyway).…
I have to agree with you on temporary containers. I spend most of my time in temporary containers. I trade the annoyance of having cookie popups literally every time I visit a page for not actually having to worry about the impact of those cookies. I have it configured such that middle-click opens links in new containers, and left-click opens in the current container.
Hide the popups with uBlock Origin. You pick the element with an inspector like tool and they are gone forever. Also use Cookie Autodelete to remove any information they attach to your browser.
If you really care about a site, make your choices in the cookie popup and grey/white list it in Cookie Autodelete.
Any want to automatically regenerate fingerprinting randomness?

Firefox Multi-Account Containers are impossible to go back from once you get used to them. Add in Conex ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/conex/ ) and you have really great tab group switching WITH containerization / "firewall" between containers. You can't get anywhere near this with Chrome as far as I'm aware.
I made a fork of this that gives you some additional control over how links are treated - specifically, you can set it up different rules for what container to open a page in depending on what container it was opened from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containers-wi... The rationale is that you rarely want pages that you open from random Facebook posts or Reddit submissions, or pages that you arrive…
Conex ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/conex/ ) has an option that allows the user to select container for incoming links

A few more usecases that I've added to my workflow since discovering container tabs: * Work/personal separation * Multiple AWS accounts Also, I am very impressed with how well they're integrated into Firefox. For example, opening a link in a new tab will preserve the container. CMD+Shift+T will restore a recently closed tab and remember its original container. I really like the color coding too.
* Work/Personal * Multiple AWS Accounts * Bank * Facebook (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/facebookcontainer/) * Shopping * temp (test, disposable )
The only time I use private windows is when there is a glitch.
I love this and use it daily but am sad that they don’t sync between machines (and the discussion over at https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3... is a bit disenhartening)
Why disheartening? There's a comment from a Mozilla developer in December saying they're planning to work on it.

Sign-in to personal (while at work) to sync bookmarks if firewall allows. Depending on whether you trust your employer you could sync further personal settings.
Don't sign-in to work profile and no work bookmarks or settings/logins get shared.
Don't get me wrong: multi-account containers are a blessing for those rare days when you absolutely have to log-in to facebook.
