This release really seems broken to me. Tree Style Tabs broke completely, and i have problems with non-responsive windows

Ugh that makes me worry, what happened to TST for you?

I can only close tabs with Ctrl+W. Clicking on the 'x' button does nothing.

I'm simply explaining something you hadn't understood. But I'm not aware of any "web standard" codifying container behaviour.

There are (standarized) things that get sent to x.com when you click on a link to it on m.com. Stuff that wouldn't be there if you actually copy pasted the link.

Referer? Great.

What does that have to do with containers, or better, why do you believe what many users want is forbidden by "web standards"?

> Why is it OK to be track by Apple or Netflix? That is not what I asserted. I asserted I don't care about it. I don't believe Netflix tracks me outside of .netflix.com and I don't believe Apple tracks me outside of .apple.com (and the other domains ofc). If they do, you have to convince me it is harming my interests (ie. my privacy or freedom of choice). I know Google tracks me, I know Facebook tracks me. Their prof…

But there are thousands big ones out there. Cloudflare, Cloudfront, Baidu, Yandex, Akamai, Tencent, Twitter, Yahoo, Disqus, Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest etc. Why bring up Apple and Netflix specifically?

Going for the high trees instead of low hanging fruit. Why? On average, larger impact.

There's Invidation addon to avoid Twitter/YouTube and redirect to Nitter/Invidious, and there's some addons to avoid CDNs such as Cloudflare / Amazon/ Akamai. There's also an addon to remove garbage in URLs such as AMP (I mean, wtf?).

If you want to avoid these completely, plus GAFAM, your internet (browsing) experience isn't annoying; it is broken.

I avoid Uber/Airbnb/Pinterest already (niches I don't care about) and Yandex/Baidu is not meant for my demographics.

So Firefox sent me an email with a title "Get Facebook Out". I tried to unsubscribe, but that forces me to login first, for which I don't remember the password. So I had to reset the password, and then unsubscribe from their "tips" emails. Shouldn't Firefox offer a one click unsubscribe botton?

you are supposed to use facebook login for that :D

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've also signed up for a Firefox sync account ever since it was launched, and the only emails I get are the security notifications about new sign-ins. The Firefox Account has no communication options and does not send promotional emails: https://accounts.firefox.com/settings Not sure what lists you're subscribed to, but they aren't part of this account. What mailing lists have you subscribed to or what service are y…

Check the bottom. When you clickthrough the Email preferences link, you're presented with a list of several email lists you can subscribe/unsubscribe from.

Edit: I was subscribed to a couple lists I never directly opted-in to receive, though I never received any emails from those lists.

I wish every domain could automatically be opened in an individual container. I don't even need to know about them.

Ask and ye shall receive: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con... I use this in combination with "normal" containers and it works a treat

I use this plus Containerise, but with recent updates to Temporary Containers, I don't think I need Containerise any more.

I use Containise for that, it lets you set wildcards: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containerise/

Unfortunately that doesn't open other links outside the container :/

Temporary containers will do that https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...

All urls that are not "pinned" to a container open in a temporary container.

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...

Sorry to bomb you like this, but I don't have the time/energy to find where to file a ff container bug: twitter.com never opens in it's designated container for me. That is the only site I always have to "Reopen in container".

Same here: that's the only site that doesn't work. I wonder if it has something to do with the post-login redirects: it's impossible to say "always open this site in this container", because you've already been redirected to a different url.
