Is this a bug or conflict with another setting or add-on?
One downside that I had hoped containers would fix was multiple accounts on AWS. Because of the way AWS handles the URL's for logging in I get: company1.signin.aws.amazon.com company2.signin.aws.amazon.com company3.signin.aws.amazon.com BUT FF only seems to remember the login/password for 1 of these at a time. I had hoped that putting them all in different containers would fix this but it appears that FF only matches…

edit: for instance, I have a 'banking' profile with containers for each bank, brokerage, etc. The profile is totally separate from my 'general browsing' profile, so nothing can be sniffed. And the containers allow me to partition off each service
Containers are great! But since the recent v.91 update screwed the tabs up so much, there's no quick visual way to scan and see which container-type each tab is. Great stuff, well done Mozilla! What's the point in being able to customise a container's appearance, including colour, if they're not described on the tab itself?

Basically every new tab is a new temporary container. Isolation all the time, by default. It's an added exercise for the reader, but you have to go into the settings of the extension and modify some of the mouse behavior. Basically if I want a link I click to share the same container as the parent, I Ctrl + Click. Left-clicking or middle-clicking is always a new temporary container.
Containers are so much more than cookie isolation.

TreeStyleTabs... next to Containers, it is the only reason I still use FF, if FF drops support for either TreeStyleTabs or Containers there will be zero reason for me to continue using it.
Also, right there with ya - treed tabs is the only reason I stick with FF.
Don't forget, you can still use multiple profiles. I have multiple shortcuts setup, each starting FF with a different profile. Within a profile, I use containers to further partition things. edit: for instance, I have a 'banking' profile with containers for each bank, brokerage, etc. The profile is totally separate from my 'general browsing' profile, so nothing can be sniffed.

Are containers still necessary? Does the Firefox built in privacy (Strict privacy protection policy) provide same or similar functionality?
I use containers to only use some google services while signed in. For instance I use gmail signed in but I google search in a separate container to not log that data in my account. I may be fooling myself and google can identify it anyway through my IP or something but it feels like I get a little extra anonymity.

Even for websites that allow switching accounts, I prefer to use containers especially if the accounts go across different "domains" of my life. If I must log in to something personal at work or vice versa, I generally use a container for that to keep them separate.
