Bug is known, but I haven't seen a solution even though it's not recent.
Reinstalling doesn't help. Disabling extensions doesn't help. Same thing on another computer with same google account logged in.

> Supporting web extensions on Android would be a brand new feature and would need significant development time. Kiwi Browser, a Chromium fork for Android with a small development team manages to have extensions, and successfully runs almost all extensions for desktop Chrome. Google doesn't have extensions in Android Chrome because it doesn't want them. I'm not surprised; many popular extensions make Google's busines…
Did Google reject an effort to upstream this support? The priorities of a small browser trying to have unique features to offer people to use it are different from a large existing browser which isn't trying to attract new users, but are more focused on more impactful changes.

What's the advantage of using multi-account containers and partitioned identities?
Typo in my text, can't correct it now. But you can simultaneously log into multiple Google accounts by putting each into a different container. These containers are mapped onto tabs. So in one tab, one Gmail account, in another tab, another Gmail account. And it's not just Gmail it's anything that you might want multiple accounts in (eg: AWS) The containerise extension is the cherry on top. Once you've set up your co…
> I'd be glad to learn of any other cool features and extensions that y'all might want to share. I'm sure others will be sharing it as I type this comment as well, but for many HN readers, Multi-Account Containers [1] are bound to be a godsend. Easily log in to different accounts for any website, in different tabs. Great feature that's not available in other browsers. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/mult…
I simply use Temporary Containers to isolate tabs (or different domains) and login to websites either by hand or via KeepassXC's browser integration. No per-container setup needed, every tab just lives briefly in its own little container.

As a long time FF user my opinion of it took quite a hit recently. I wanted to hack together a small personal extension, likely outside the scope of what Tampermonkey can do easily. I was really shocked by the mandatory signature enforcement. You need to get your extension signed by Mozilla with no way to disable it in the standard FF, the about:config setting does nothing (see [1]). Your temporary extension will als…
Usually you find that the reason these barriers exist is because people were abusing the previous system. There are (sadly) plenty of people out there who will install a browser extension & tweak an about:config setting if you set up the right incentives to get them to look past the warnings. The price of protecting these people from those that would take advantage of them is developers having to download a different…
Why be vague? Point out some people who were abusing the previous system who couldn't abuse it now.
They also moved "Close tabs on the right" from the bottom of the menu and moved it to a submenu next to "Close tabs on the left". So now it's a multi-step process to close tabs on the right with a higher chance of misclicking on the action opposite of what I want, that I also will never use in my life.
Just seems like they're fond of making many odd, small UI decisions to create the appearance of progress without really moving forward.

Holy crap thank you! I have to log into multiple Microsoft365 tenants and it drove me crazy with the amount of signing OUT I needed to do when switching accounts, to the point where my crappy workaround was to use different browsers for each account (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc) but I started to run out of different browsers. This multi-account container extension is a godsend
Use profiles to separate work for each tenant, whether you use firefox or chrome. Firefox supports multiple profiles too! Chrome supports multiple profiles. And launching chrome/firefox with certain profiles requires setting up shortcuts with --flags. So you can have one browser shortcut for one tenant and another shortcut for another tenant.

> The number one complaint / request I receive when I build a PC / workstation for the grad-students after they get it? Can you please install Chrome? Have you tried changing the desktop Firefox icon to be chrome's icon and naming it Chrome? This complaint sounds like the old meme from years back of not so internet savy folks who thought "the internet" was inside "the blue ball" (the old IE icon). I.e., these student…
Ah, the old social behaviour experiment. I like it. I might change my image to reflect that.
