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…

You can right-click links and open them in a "New Container Tab" (including "No Container").

Edit: You can also right-click on the tabs and select "Reopen in Container"

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.

Switched to Firefox nightly and preview recently; it's great once you enable webrender and mess with a few other about:config options. Lockwise on Android is the only issue, it doesn't always suggest my saved passwords.

Same for me on iOS. Commented above. It’s also annoyingly slow.

Sure, but it's not as convenient as doing it automatically.

Do you know of Firefox Multi-Account Containers?

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

You are right the user experience is chunky and not self explanatory. But what you are trying to achieve is possible. Play with the settings a bit. I have it in a way that if I type a domain that is assigned to a container, it will ask me first if I want to open it in its default container or a different one.

I wish Firefox had a good multi-account support like Chrome has. That, and the fact that iOS 14 might allow to set your default browser would make me move to use Firefox everywhere.

I'd love to hear if they made any progress in tracking down the 'interesting WebRender bug' from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22359574

I think it's tracked under https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1604492 It's still open, but it seems people haven't been able to hit the bug on the last few nightlies (this is also my experience), so it's possible the bug was quietly fixed as a side effect of some other patch.

That's not what he (and I and many others) are asking for.

The site linked to is not assigned to any container. It opens in the old container, while it should open in the default container.
