Containers are such a great idea. My one wish is if you could set a default container. I use FF to browser Facebook primarily and want that to be default, but instead I have to load Firefox then load a container then load Facebook. Wish it were just open FF -> Facebook is homepage.

There is an option called "always open in this container" if you press the menu icon of the container tabs extension

  Ah great! I guess this was added more recently, I hadn't seen it before.

  Turns out this doesn't do the thing I'd expect. I set my homepage to Facebook and it doesn't load the container. Eh, back to my former opinion - Containers are great, Containers UX needs work.

There is also a Facebook-specific container addon that limits Facebook's footprint even more than the standard container addon (and will work alongside it) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-container/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-cont... Also with the standard container addon you can specify that sites always open only in your specified container, so you could just set Facebook to always open in its own container that way.

I'm using Containerise to do that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containerise/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containerise/

Configure Facebook to always use it's own container
