Mozilla is bringing popular privacy features to its desktop and mobile VPN
I use Containerise[0] (not affiliated) exactly for that purpose but I agree, this should really be included in the official plugin.

Firefox 96
Thank you for your suggestions. I've been considering what to do about my Firefox setup for some time (switching to ESR vs one of the forks, which I have to research first). Thing is, I'm using a heavily-customized profile with lots of extensions, Violentmonkey [1] userscripts, containers (including Containerise [2], and Temporary Containers [3]), and a custom user.js (based on [4]), so I should also revisit the settings for all of these at the same time as it's been a while since I last did so. It's all on my to-do list but as the current setup works well, there's always something more urgent to do instead.

4. https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js
The LTSC suggestion is also good. I'm already using a heavily-debloated LTSC with lots of unnecessary packages removed (including the hidden ones, which are not supposed to be officially removable), and all kinds of customizations for privacy, security, performance, and convenience. While I'm satisfied with my setup (automated with custom scripts I've been maintaining since Windows 8), the number of hoops one has to go through to have their computer do what the user wants and nothing else, or a "User-Agent" that gives actual agency to the user these days is truly astonishing, and makes the goal unattainable for most people.

Container in Firefox
If you've found something you believe is broken, post on their issue tracker...
- I think it's a good idea if in "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" we could enter the URL's manually. Making the Google container was a bit hard, some URLs directed automatically, and sometimes I had to disconnect the Internet, so that I could put the URL on the list.

Firefox containers question.
I think Containerise will do what you want. To use it in the way you describe, don't set up manual rules, but set the Default Container under the addon options using the {domain} or {fqdn} placeholders. Then a new container is created with a name based on the domain, and all other visits to the same domain share that container.

Use Finicky to direct urls to multiple Chrome profiles at workplace
Finicky is a macOS utility that allows you to configure rules for directing URLs to different web browsers or browser profiles. Using it to direct URLs to multiple Chrome profiles at the workplace can be useful for separating work-related browsing from personal activities or for managing different projects. With this optimal way, you can gain the benefit of not wasting your time to re-do actions to make it works well with your browser sessions.

Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default
I'm currently experimenting with "link eye" from FDroid on Android. There's also [finicky](https://github.com/johnste/finicky) for MacOS.

PSA: If you removed the old Discover button with --disable-features and it returned as the Bing logo, the feature name has changed
The workaround to disable Bing/Discover (msEdgeSidebarV2) on MacOS is to install finicky and set it as the default browser so it can launch Edge for you with customized arguments.

Have you tried making a different desktop entry/shortcut for each Firefox profile and then setting a browser picker as your default browser?

How to work with different browser profiles
Finicky will help you when you use different browsers, and/or different profiles. As a consultant I often use browser profiles to split my clients. I have a "Binx.io" profile for all Binx related work. For each client I have corresponding profiles. Let's call them "Client A" and "Client B".

Using Finicky to handle URLs
// See https://github.com/johnste/finicky module.exports = { defaultBrowser: "Vivaldi", handlers: [ { match: ({ opener }) => opener.bundleId === "org.whispersystems.signal-desktop", browser: { name: "Google Chrome", profile: "Profile 2" } }, { match: "open.spotify.com/*", browser: "Spotify" }, { match: [ /miro.com\/app\/board\//, ], browser: "com.electron.realtimeboard" }, { match: [ /zoom.us\/j\//, ], browser: "us.zoom.xos" }, { match: [ /https:\/\/atlassian.slack.com\/archives\//, ], browser: "Slack" }, { match: [ finicky.matchHostnames([ /abc.net.au$/, /news.com.au$/, /smh.com.au$/ ]), ], browser: { name: "Google Chrome", profile: "Profile 2" } } ] }
