Coolest feature is per container socks5 support so each container can send traffic through a different socks 5 server. Any VPN offering socks5 on their gateways should work. I'm using IVPN which expose socks5 on each of their WireGuard servers - there is demo on their blog - https://www.ivpn.net/blog/socks5-proxies-app-based-vpn-tunne...

container sync has been a thing for a while, but you have to enable it: https://i.imgur.com/UBj3TjW.png
Yes, and the flow is as I described. 1. Install Firefox. 2. Log in to fresh Firefox instance. 3. Let browser-wide sync happen. 4. Sync installs multi-account containers addon. 5. Four empty default containers are created. New user welcome flow is active. 6. Sign in to multi-account containers addon. Wait for container sync to do its thing. 7. Containers sync invisibly in the background. - Default containers that you…

This extension gives the ability to create bookmarks that open in a specific container automatically.
When dealing with AWS accounts that are configured to use SSO. I’ll have to use IdP to login into awsapps.com. Then I have to choose AWS account and then click a Role that I would like to use for session. This is troublesome and breaks my flow. I wanted a way to quickly jump into a specific account without thinking too much.
For each AWS account that I need to use, I’ve copied a link from awsapps.com pointing at specific permissions set. When opening this link I will be taken to a specific AWS account, and if the session is expired it will prompt for IdP login and proceed to AWS account. Next, I’ve created a bookmark and crafted a url that uses the mentioned extension. It will open link in to a “staging” account in Firefox container company-staging.

> InPrivate windows share a cookie jar in Firefox Wow, should it be a bug? Im Safari user, have little FF experience.
It certainly defied my expectations. Chrome is the same. All I can think is that they wanted an inprivate window's tabs to share a jar and that then gets kinda complicated with popping tabs into their own window, putting them back, flicking between those accidentally while dragging a tab, etc. Looking at the docs it appears that Safari gets around this by just having a separate jar per tab? On desktop at least, mobil…
I've been using this since it was new. I'm very frustrated to say the UI/UX hasn't seen any significant update. Containers are still synced separately, so any fresh install of Firefox will have the tutorial UX and the default 4 containers, even after syncing. Also, address bar completion is still monolithic, making it very easy to accidentally open a site in an undesired container. That can be worked around by adding…
I had similar complaints about the UX for the built-in containers extension, so as a labor of love, I wrote a helper extension to make containers a little more intuitive: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/containers-helper The simplest improvement is that you can use e.g. Alt+Shift+D to open a little popup and start typing to find your container(s). You can also use the extension to import and export containers, as we…
I don't know when it arrived, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been there too long, but I don't pay too much attention to this extension's UI. I'm running Firefox 109.
This is so much more powerful than first party isolation in Chrome. Firefox is on the only browser with something like this. I love having multiple tabs open and logged into the same website with different accounts/cookies. I also use this in conjunction with Temporary Containers so every tab is a new container automatically. If I left-click a link it will navigate keeping the same container. If I control+click it wi…
But why is this REALLY "more powerful than first party isolation"? I don't need this feature every day, in case I do - just create separate profile and it's easy to run it right from toolbar. The only usecase I can remember: specific domains can be automatically opened in container - and that's a good feature to have, but not really a dealbreaker. Another difference: organization as a tab in the same window - not tha…
Also, for some sites where I do "Sign in with Google", I like being able to 'stitch together' those session cookies by opening sites in the "Google" container so i can just waltz right into the "other site". On my other containers, they don't have the session cookie for Google in the background so I'm good. I use this for work-related things with SSO. Instead of naming the "static containers" "Work, Play, etc", I just call them the SSO-provider, and I know if I move an existing container into that or open a new tab using that container it will have the login I need.
My default settings are pretty locked down. Umatrix blocks a lot in my new temporary containers, and then I gradually unblock things.

Ah, that sounds nearly identical to the standard launch-time profile picker from the Chromium base - example from Chrome https://i.imgur.com/7b7YqUY.png
Sure is, thanks. At the time I settled on Brave for that use case I saw no such behavior from any of my other Chromium-based browsers. Either Brave upstreamed it, or I did something wrong on my end (likely).

I am not sure what you mean by non addon store addon. Containerise is on amo and supports glob and regex patterns. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/containerise/
…which does not support Firefox sync to sync its (container)settings
