Re: Facebook Container for Firefox
#432I use Firefox multi-account containers[1] extensively, it's honestly the primary reason I use Firefox these days. The big win for me is that I _hate_ having to use the Google account switcher, so I basically set up a container for each Gmail account (work, personal, old email, etc). The nice bonus feature is you can have certain sites default to containers. I had a paid YouTube account for a while, for example, so ha…
Also adding to this - you can set up container-specific proxies with "Container proxy" addon. This is great for when you want to ensure your connection is going over a private network, for instance if you have a regular torrent website (or porn or whatever) - you can configure it to automatically open in a container, like this Facebook addon - but when it opens - it will only connect to the endpoint over a proxy. If…
Mozilla needs to work harder on the permission system for addons.
One of the permissions you have to grant to the container proxy add on is:
“Access your data for all websites”
That’s not acceptable.

How would you propose fixing it? Firefox has an active bug tracker to discuss these kinds of things.

>"I just keep a mullvad connection open on my router and only route the proxy IPs through it.' I'm interested in your setup. Do you configure your router to have a point to point tunnel with Mullvad then? I didn't know this was a thing. Do you then just have a separate container proxy for each GeoIP region you want to access?
I have a Unifi USG, which has a third party wireguard addon, though of course OpenWRT could work just fine. You setup a wireguard tunnel normally, but disable the default routing (on a Unifi, set route-allowed-ip false), and then explicitly add a route for 10.124.0.0/16 through the wireguard interface. The mullvad servers page[1] has socks 5 proxy addresses for all of their servers - assign one to a firefox container…
I'm curious to learn more why you have gone this route compared with the default settings of a standard router?
I'm uncertain of the benefit for everyday people.

I used to have 4 or 5 profiles for firefox for various accounts and situations and containers let me leave all that mess behind. It's pretty awesome and I wish more people knew about it. It's one of the things I bring up to privacy oriented and people who need a lot of different logins.
Is there a way to have multiple profiles open in separate windows but inly a single instance of Firefox, similar to Chrome?
I think you can do it from command line. Set up a few profiles (2 to start with/test) and run them from command line. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/62.0.32...

excluding extensions is the exact reason I use profiles (I don't want any with access to my banking) I use containers liberally also
You can open a private window when doing your banking, extensions aren't allowed there by default.
Good idea but this doesn't save history which can be useful sometimes.

They should not take it personally. The UX/dev people at Firefox should take that as a constructive criticism.
Since when is constructive criticism expressed in words like “awful”?
You should take be asking the question why are the users using words like "awful"
Re: Facebook Container for Firefox
#439How bizarre that I desperately try to contain these monsters in digital cages, keeping them on a VPN leash, carefully adding plugins, trying to maintain delicate balance. Sometimes I try too hard, the monsters are offended, throw errors, hide the contents away. Sometimes I miss something, and they devour my privacy bit by bit, unnoticed. I spend sleepless nights scouring the internet for new codes, secret browser opt…
Try Qubes OS instead, it gives a great peace of mind.

You can actually have different profiles for Chrome which achieve exactly the same thing.
Can you have dozens of different profiles open at the same time in different tabs of the same window?
No, though I prefer different windows as then you can have different bookmark bars for each context.
