It's interesting that the patch notes seem to have references to a specific site. Did they really make changes to Firefox that only target Instagram?

Yep[0], but if you check the revision that fixed it [1] this seems to be a standard QoL change that Firefox already had the mechanism to perform per-site.

I'd just prefer it to be draggable. I have started using the feature frequently, but the button is often overlaid the next button on other sites as well.

The Facebook container is great, but I wish there was an option for the built-in Multi-Account containers to work this way. I've been doing what the Facebook Container extension does, but with built-in containers, and the experience is very clunky.

The two biggest issues are that I can't give the container a list of domains beforehand and say "everything under google.com should open here". I have to go to each Google subdomain and set it to "always open in this container" with three or four clicks. The other major issue is that there's no way to have links outside those domains open outside the container, so whenever I click a link on Gmail that goes to Github, Github opens in the Google container and I always have to copy/paste the address to a new tab.

Fixing those two annoyances would make the built-in containers feature amazing. Maybe I should file a feature request.

EDIT: I have filed a feature request: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621276

The largest change is disabling TLS 1.0 and 1.1 by default.

Chrome following when 81 gets released (currently in beta).

They made a change in 73.0.1[0] only targeting one bank website[1].

Yes, those are the ones I'm talking about.
