Firefox Multi-Account Containers
I had similar complaints about the UX for the built-in containers extension, so as a labor of love, I wrote a helper extension to make containers a little more intuitive:
https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/containers-helper
The simplest improvement is that you can use e.g. Alt+Shift+D to open a little popup and start typing to find your container(s).
You can also use the extension to import and export containers, as well as some other features.
The extension respects your privacy completely and is not programmed to make any outbound network requests.

The Open Source community is awesome. With help from new users to the Firefox Containers Helper Extension, v0.0.14 was released last night, featuring Dark Mode, Multi-selection mode, configurable keyboard shortcut, and a quick way to add a new container.
Next up: remove the icons …

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.

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.
What are some alternatives?
