I have seen this phrase in several places, but cannot find the origin of the phrase. Where is it from?
I thought it was an upside down version of "the beatings will continue until morale improves."

Wouldn't Firefox's profiles accomplish the same thing? (Yes, I understand they are difficult to access but they are still there.) That said, containers are a handy tool for people who want to access multiple accounts without the trouble of setting up individual profiles. Keep in mind, if you're only trying to access a personal and work Google account you probably don't want to spend time setting up a separate profile…
Yes, but Firefox's profiles are very hard to use (apart from keeping multiple Firefox channels installed, e.g., stable, beta), I tried, and I couldn't. Starting a profile is difficult, and also switching between windows, since the OS sees profiles as different apps. It's probably not hard to fix, but Mozilla has had other priorities.
You can create shortcuts (or shell scripts) by hand with --no-remote -p ProfileName to auto-open specific sites in specific profiles. It's certainly less convenient than PWA installs, but is an old tool with all sorts of old ways to automate it.
Multi-account Container is far easier than all that though and does reduce the number of windows to manage in your OS taskbars. Obviously you need to be careful with which extensions you install that they are safe for every container you want to use, but that's a given and a good idea in general no matter how many profiles you use: keep extensions to the bare minimum you are comfortable with. Vet their permissions manifests and keep additional permissions you grant them to a minimum.

* Firefox always seem to be applying an update at that critical moment where you just need the browser to start RIGHT NOW

Just open about:profiles. You can create new ones, remove old ones, set which one is the default and can open them in a new browser. I use this all the time to open a browser as a new SSO functional user without having to log out. I don't know why they don't add this somewhere in the menus and I don't know why you can't bookmark about:profiles, but this works well for me as it is.

In both cases chromium is much better at keeping the styling.
Bugs have been reported for the later, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772785 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1646515 but no progress is happening.
> 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…
Hate to be a black cloud, but as much as I love containers, my containers and their settings often disappeared. I can no longer remember exactly why. it may be if i disabled containers and then re-enabled them. (Containers may be a source of glitches so disabling is to help with troubleshooting.) getpocket.com needs to be logged in via container 0. if you put getpocket to a personal container, and don't login to getp…

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.
simple tab groups + Firefox counters are far superior that using different profiles
I love Firefox too but this is a really weird post. The OP is clearly having performance issues with Chrome presumably due to extensions interfering or something else. I can guarantee you that Google makes sure Gmail loads at least as fast in Chrome as in Firefox. Chrome is customizable too (panes you can open/close), Chrome extensions are also thriving, and Chrome was the one who invented the "clean look", same as F…
> Firefox invented tabs Wow, that's false. Firefox was NOT the first browser with tabs. From the top of my head, Opera had tabs before Firefox, confirmed by a quick Google search. And apparently Opera wasn't the first browser with tabs either, although it was probably the first browser with a significant market share with tabs. Also tabs were not invented by any browser, other programs used to have tabs before it was…
I use Firefox sort of begrudgingly. It's marginally less bad than the other options, but it's still an awful browser. I vehemently disagree with almost all of its design decisions, and with every new release they seem to stray even farther from sane UX. It has hamburger menus on desktop and a lot of weird space-saving design that makes no sense on a modern high resolution display. Buttons are small, have cryptic flat…
