I guess same goes for the facebook container... what's up with building browser features for facebook? Why no reddit container, or google container, or amazon container?

It's possible this was a layout bug whose most common and visible consequence was on instagram? Or does FireFox's picture in picture code have special casing for some sites?

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). [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/contain-amazo... [2] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/microsoft-con...

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…

I don't know what is up with mozilla/firefox. I'm still using firefox but not because I like it, only because the alternatives are worse. I signed up for a firefox account almost right after they were announced. At the time and multiple times since I've unsubscribed from "all" their emails because I'm not interested in them. They just either invent a new list and auto-subscribe me to it or they just ignore my prefere…

I used to be a fan of FF until chrome. I understand it's bad - but how about chromium? Btw, I'm not against looking at FF again, but looking at this changelog and recent product direction, they honestly feel lost.

Why is that being mentioned in the main application's release notes? Isn't it more appropriate on the addon's main page? This confused me too. I thought they were including Facebook Container by default like they did with Pocket, then could find no trace of it after updating.
