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.

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.
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.
The idea of having a link clicked inside a container and expect it to go to a different container as a default setting, seems to contradict web standars. Now, if you've explicitly assigned the clicked domain to a different container, then yes, it should go to its container (which is how it works, to me at least).
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…
I use FF, I don't use FB, but I still think this is wrong. Browser is not a place to decide which companies are good and which are bad. As much as I despise Facebook I still don't think it's fair. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". All companies should have the same access to the technology in user's browser. Favoring Google by Chrome seems no different than blocking…

With the base multi account container extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... you can right click in any page and have it remember the container for that domain. For example you open abc.com in container "Personal" once, then you can tell it do remember to use that container whenever you go to abc.com. The Conex extension https://github.com/kesselborn/conex goes beyond by (optionally…
My problem with that is that, even if I do this, it doesn't remember it for foo.abc.com, and when I'm in the container, links to def.com won't open outside the container.

It's wrong for the browser to give me a way to containerize whatever domain I want?

I'm just trying to help. The idea of having a link clicked inside a container and expect it to go to a different container as a default setting, seems to contradict web standars. Now, if you've explicitly assigned the clicked domain to a different container, then yes, it should go to its container (which is how it works, to me at least).
But if I click a Google link, it already goes to a different container (the Google one), because I've told it to.

I am trying to assign "all non-google.com links" to open in the default container.
