What does the Facebook container do that can't be done by the Multi-Account Container? I just have a Facebook/Google/AWS/etc. container set up there.
It's automatic. So if you open Facebook, or any Meta site, it automatically puts it in it's own container. Together with Privacy Badger, Meta has no clue what you're doing on the rest of the web.
I keep meaning to make a guide "how to make firefox not suck" but I never get around to it. It's a great browser, but I always forget the default settings are super stupid. Myself and power users all have it customized to the hilt. It takes some serious work to get a new new FireFox install working nicely.
No kidding. I had to create a Google Doc document to remember all the little things that I have to clobber in Firefox to make it behave reasonably. Here is an excerpt of how I clobber the defaults: - Enable pixel-perfect smooth scrolling (Linux): MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 (why do we still have to do this??) - Enable: Ctrl-Tab cycles through recent used order - Disable: "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" - Disabl…
"Disable: "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab""
I am tired of turning features off. At this point I just want a boring browser that handles html/css/js, bookmarks, tabs (should sleep inactive tabs), plugins (for my chosen password manager and ad blocker), and page zoom. Those are the only features I actually use regularly. That's it, I would be willing to make a one time purchase for that, no subscriptions... Ok, I could maybe be convinced for a subscription if it…
You should probably look into https://justthebrowser.com/ . This software sets up browser corporate policies to achieve exactly what you want.
Maybe we need a justtheconfig.com
This is a good start, but there is still no way to remove what is sure to be tremendous bloat caused by these features. I would prefer if we could opt to install (or not install) them to begin with.
Soon: "Oopsie woopsie, we changed your expressed preferences... care to try again?"
This is expected behavior in Microsoft products, but has Firefox ever done anything like this?

Or you could just use user.js and not have to change every setting manually each time you start from scratch.

Is this just a matter of preference or is it something else? "Disable: "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab""
Image preview is slightly slower and has noticeable latency, compared to the text popup that is almost instantaneous.
And it is more visually distracting. I hate UI features that interfere with my workflow. I hate most UI animations. I turned animations off on my Android phone, and now the thing just flies.

This is why I use nixos so I can easily deploy a configured firefox quickly
