I would love this feature and it would actually get me to switch to Firefox in a heartbeat. I'm currently using Chrome just because of the the (subjectively) better developer tools, but this is a feature that would make my life so much easier!

Firefox tab management is lackluster compared to Chrome; container tabs won't change that :/ Every time I try using Firefox I pretty quickly hit the limitation on selecting tabs. Chrome lets you select tabs like files in a file manager: Shift click for ranges, ctrl+click for adding/removing single tabs. You can then drag & drop the group in or out of various windows, close all at once, etc. Container tabs imho won't be usable unless something like this is in place. When dealing with as few as 5+ tabs, I certainly wouldn't want to manually tweak them one at a time. Can't imagine for 20+, 50+. But the idea is nice for feature separation, I like that a lot.

  Firefox's default tab management might be worse than Chrome's, but once you add something like Tab Mix Plus into the mix, Chrome starts looking like a Ford Model T next to a Ferrari.

  Try the Tree Style Tab addon for Firefox. Managing 100+ tabs in Firefox is a breeze. I can't bring myself to use Chrome now.

  I've haven't used Firefox since moving over to Pale Moon, but I'd suggest trying out Tree Style tabs to help you manage your tabs.

I use it every day with de developer edition you just need to switch the following in about:config : `privacy.userContext.enabled` `privacy.userContext.ui.enabled` The pref might be avaiable in other version too.

  Yeah, it's already in Firefox Stable. It's not yet fit to be used as an actual security feature, especially not the outdated version of it in Stable, but just for separating logins, I'd assume it's perfectly fine.
