Firefox Multi-Account Containers by Firefox
Review by bodwyn
Rated 1 out of 5
by bodwyn, 5 years agoAfter yesterday spending ages deleting TMP containers, today I synced a new install of Firefox on a different, new PC. All TMP containers were recreated. Terrible.
Downgraded from 4 to 1 stars.
A week later I have just deleted all the TMP containers 'synced' to my new machine.
Switched off sync in add-on settings. Closed and reopened Ffox, switched on sync in add-on settings and it put all the TMP containers back in.
Oh and it's now synced a website back into a container I had removed it from on both machines.
Clicking "Remember this decision for this site" or manually changing the site list for a container are ignored or overwritten. It keeps asking though as-if there is any function in any of the controls.
WHYYYYY? What is the intended purpose of any of these functions if all it does is sync back over the top undoing everything I do to try to clean up the mess it keeps replicating?
A community of conscientious supporters' time and energy would be better spent on how it /should/ work, why it is important in theory, and improvements - instead of barely getting it to function as intended and repeatedly cleaning up the mess it spreads everywhere.
A mess admittedly created by Temporary Containers but I haven't had that installed for several years but still have several hundreds of TMP containers to delete. Again.
Good theory.
There is a way to remove the hundreds of synced TMP containers created by Temporary Containers extension, but sync just undoes everything you do, so good luck.
Also ! Watch-out! The page jumps around so if you are trying to use it for what it's for: bulk removal, it's easy to delete ones you wanted to keep.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20182690, 6 days agoTHIS! Is why I left the other browsers. I used to have multiple Chrome profiles to separate instances of QuickBooks or Xero by Client. With containers I can have everything in one browser. Thank you!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by jasoncollege24, 12 days agoThis add-on makes it easy to separate things like banking, social media, work, and many other categories into completely separate sub-sessions. Each session uses it's own cookies, including separate logins (eg a banking container could just be used to login to and use online banking, while a social media container could be logged into sites like Face Book, or Instagram) Good stuff!

- Rated 5 out of 5by ChickenMan, 25 days agoSpecially the "always open in container" feature is awesome. It takes a lot of the effort away from organizing where I am going to open what.
Aside from that, I would really love some more icons, and colors. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 20104501, 25 days ago
