This is very cool. You can now set a different proxy for every container!
Now if it could just wait to ask for the permission until it needs it...
Firefox never updates automatically for me and I've uninstalled, removed my account and other basic troubleshooting steps I've found through Googling never help.
I have to run the installer with every update. And that would be fine but it resets some settings that don't sync with your profile, as an example, it always changes language spell check back to US English from British or Australian English. Its giving me the shits.
How do I fix the above?

There are also other convenience extensions that use containers -- like Simple Tab Groups, which allows creating groups and assigning them to containers. I use it and have no need for the "Multi-Account Containers" extension.

The extension is direct from Mozilla. If I didn’t trust it to request literally any permission, I should just delete Firefox entirely because it could do just about anything without having to ask me.
The point is you should use elevated privileges when you need them. Not because some use case which is currently irrelevant for you might need them.
This is actually something I wanted, kinda. I like that they integrate the container proxy extension with the regular container extension, I just would rather they not try to sell the VPN thing so much.
I don't need a VPN that often, so I have not investigated: Does it support any kind of VPN or just Firefox VPN?
You don't really need this extension to use containers -- it just adds some convenience, but the main functionality (creating containers, opening tabs in containers, moving tabs between containers, ...) is in Firefox core. There are also other convenience extensions that use containers -- like Simple Tab Groups, which allows creating groups and assigning them to containers. I use it and have no need for the "Multi-Ac…

I wish they fixed the long standing, annoying sync bug that makes Firefox download 7000+ containers every once in a while. Some of us hosed our sync accounts in one way or another (through the container duplication bug in m-a-c itself [1] or the temporary containers extension [2]) and it's impossible to recover - once you reach the storage quota on the sync server, the sync server refuses all write operations and del…
it is possible to recover! you just have to reset your account password, which blows away all server data, starting the quota over. but this is ok because you should still have a local copy, and when you log in with the new password you can upload that.
