This has been extremely useful for the past month or so that I've been using it. I separate work accounts and personal accounts and that has tremendously simplified using the browser. For Youtube, I can use a different Google account without logging out of my main one. I call it my "Entertainment" container - maybe it will also make it harder for agencies to connect my leisure activities to other activities.
I even have a "Testing" container when I'm testing a webapp and need to log in with 2 different users in the same window. Very convenient.
- sleavey 9y agoThis is exactly how I would like to use this feature, but from what I read, Firefox Sync only supports one of the accounts. Does that affect containers? I'd like to sync all of my bookmarks, history etc. from both work and personal containers.
- icebraining 9y agoI think you'd have to use two old-style profiles (separate windows) and then containers in each.

The idea being that you look towards the internet like several users, but on your end it still behaves like a single user. If you do want bookmarks and browsing history separated, then yeah, as the other guy said you'll want to use classic profiles. Easiest way is to type "about:profiles" into the URL-bar and then the rest should be self-explanatory. Another (scriptable) way is explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-... And then you'd create a second Firefox Account and give each profile a different Firefox Account to sync to.
