I wish they’d fix Lockwise on iOS. Not really working. In my case takes ages to open when set as default, and never auto suggests login for the active site, either from Firefox or any other app.
Agreed! It's painfully slow.

#132Earlier quoted context omitted.
Multi-account works great with containers, far superior to chrome. What you mean is probably multi-profile. I have never used that with chrome, but with FF I can go to about:profiles to open a new one or (according to a quick search) have a shortcut to the profile switcher or to a specific profile. What does Chrome do better?
> What does Chrome do better? I haven't used Chrome in a long time, but this is the primary major thing I miss from it (possibly the only thing). E.g. we have a family computer that my spouse and I use. I have set up separate profiles for us and forced Firefox to ask which profile to use on launch. But this means that if she has the browser open and has stepped away, I can't just open a new window, switch to my profi…
With the new(ish) Containers feature, you can have different accounts in different tabs. They are color-coded so you can tell which container each tab is in. Just long-press or right-click the New Tab button to choose which container the new tab opens under. So e.g. you could log in to Twitter in your container, open a new tab in her container, and log in to a different Twitter account there.

#133Even if Facebook is containerized, if you make a purchase on .com they might just tell Facebook (without the browser involved)
But that site would have to know what your Facebook profile is. And with FB domains blocked outside of the FB container, they're going to have a harder time putting that info together.

#134The 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…
I also wish that the basic container feature worked like this. In the meantime, I am very happy with the unofficial "Google Container" addon [1], which is just a copy of the Facebook container that works its magic on Google domains instead. Give it a try. It doesn't interfere with the official Facebook container addon. [1] https://github.com/containers-everywhere/contain-google
To complete GAFAN/GAFAM or whatever it is called there's also one for Amazon [1] and Microsoft [2] (I wouldn't care to avoid tracking by Apple or Netflix).

#135The 74 release says "New: Facebook container..." Do they mean the facebook container addon will come as standard, pre-installed with 74 or do they only mean they updated the addon? Little bit confused, feels a bit strange if they meant the later (under the new firefox release), but a at the same time when I updated 73 to 74 I could not see any traces of the "facebook container" in 74, no added addon. Is it meant fb c…

The latter.

Pretty sure the "new" part is the following:

Could they just use your email address?

#139Eagerly awaiting a Firefox release that improves power consumption on Mac to a point where it is at least close to competitive with Safari. That, plus the rumors that iOS will soon allow 3rd party default browsers and I'm all in Firefox for sure.
restricting all browsers to use safari is the single killer feature that made me stick with ios. If I blacklisted a website in control center it is respected in all browsers even in private mode.
Apple could simply, you know, provide an API so browsers could query this option and do something useful instead of being anti competitive.

Do containers sync across devices yet? Having to re-establish all of my container rules on my work and personal computers is tedious
Yes — We added it last month! (Mozilla Containers dev here.) See this blog post for more info: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/02/06/multi-account-c...
