contain-facebook VS multi-account-containers

Hm, last official release was 8 months ago. The github page looks fairly active, and there is a fix merged already for this https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/pull/936 and once issue #933 gets merged, it will generate a source release for 2.3.11 at https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/releases which will probably become 2.3.12 on AMO after some manual intervention.

31. Facebook Container 2.3.9 (Disabled) Facebook Container isolates your Facebook activity from the rest of your web activity in order to prevent Facebook from tracking you outside of the Facebook website via third party cookies. https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook

Facebook Container

This morning I looked for a similar extension for Google and I've found this fork[1] of Mozilla's extension. It's working as expected so far but I'd love for it to be officially maintained by Mozilla at some point. There is an open issue about it[2].

Okay nevermind, that was broken due to Facebook Container https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/issues/858

It’s because of Facebook container. Here is a GH issue with a fix: https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/issues/867

There's an open issue and workaround for it here.

That's a Multi-Account Containers option, but ApertureNext uses the dedicated Facebook Container extension. It has an open feature request for this feature.

It is an extension for Firefox, but one created by Mozilla. It's official in that sense, but it does seem a little strange it's not included by default.

the opposite is true, too, since "Clear History" in Chrome Profiles behaves correctly and (AFAIK) is scoped just to that Profile unlike our container friend: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3...

I still use them because combined with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-url-in-c... ( https://github.com/honsiorovskyi/open-url-in-container ) is a game changer for my workflow but it does make me sad that issue has been open for so long

I have about 35 tabs open, some are work tabs, some are personal tabs and others are social tabs. About 1 week ago I started having the problem that while I have the Open Containers completely draining, my CPU is at 100%. While when I close them all my CPU returns to its normal state of use 20% I see that the problem is existing. https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/572 any help? I have the latest version of Firefox on Windows 10

I've been googling around for a way to recover them and it seems like this is just... a thing hat happens? And it has for years? This is intentional? What the hell?

Firefox Containers - Only if you need to use two accounts from the same website at the same time. You can change groups names and colors. When you need to open another account simultaneously just right-click the tab -> open in new conteiner -> choose one and voilá. It took me time to understand how exactly this worked but I use a lot now. Ohh and never ever never set "Aways open this tab/site in this container" this got me nuts these days. Is hard to revert if you don't really need a certain website aways on a certain container.

Can I start Firefox from the (linux mint) terminal opening a website in a particular container (using the Multi-Account Containers extension. see https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/)

Notice that not all functionality is available in brand accounts, e.g., upload your own music to YTM. There might also be some lost functionality when using the brand account at YT, but I don't know them anymore. You should also be aware that it is not easy to switch between different google accounts on PC because they use the same cookie to remember your current account. You can use a different browser for one of YT or YTM, or use add-ons like Firefox Multi-Account Containers. The different apps on android have no problem with this.
