Firefox has weird font rendering issues (tested on Fedora 30). Fonts that look perfect on Chrome look like they bleed on Firefox. Firefox's containers is also a poor man's version of Chrome profiles. I want completely separate _everything_. Firefox's Profiles is similar, but then you get warnings about Firefox already running when you click a link in a non-Firefox program. These things are deal breakers for me.

Do you have an example URL? I don't have an 8k or 4k display but I have never seen that

    Are you running Firefox Nightly? If so do you have webrender enabled? If you check about:support it should tell you.

      Firefox that comes packaged in Fedora. No config changes made. I believe it's the Roboto font at small sizes that causes issues on Firefox.

    I use this https://github.com/silenc3r/fedora-better-fonts https://github.com/silenc3r/fedora-better-fonts on Fedora. It enables subpixel font rendering.

Firefox's Profiles is similar, but then you get warnings about Firefox already running when you click a link in a non-Firefox program. Containers is solving a different problem than you have. If you have multiple profiles running, how do you want it to know which in profile to load the link? You could set your link helper in your OS to run Firefox with the --profile option, to pre-set it, if that's what you want.

  Chrome opens non-Chrome clicked links in last active window, no matter the profile. This is the expected behavior.
