  Yeah, I've been following with keen eyes Mozilla's efforts in the space. I really like that they are experimenting with it, and I really hope them success, or at least to continue to take risks and experiment with it, but also due to the nature of the experiments to date there hasn't yet been a case where I'd swap my existing profiles for container tabs (even with the headaches of maintaining -ProfileManager launch shortcuts and remembering when I need to --no-remote or use weirder workarounds/shortcuts to get things launched properly). In migrating the primary container tab UI into an extension, Mozilla seems committed to at least providing the functionality as a long term extension API. So I don't expect the feature to be scrapped at this point; maybe just to remain rather anemic "out of the box" for the time being as Mozilla iterates on its extension. That has me curious if there's a good power user-focused extension already to meet my profile needs (or how hard it would be to build one), but so far that's only been an idle curiosity.
