I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-container/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-contai... for a year now. Works as expected.

  The reason Facebook Container exists is because the UX of the generic version is awful. Trying to created a new container to always open a site with has something like half a dozen steps. And of course we won't get a dedicated 'Google Container' from Mozilla because despite all their hot talk they know what side their bread is buttered on.

    "ctrl + ." or just click the container button on the top right Select "always open this site in".

      You're missing quite a few steps. I just ran through this process to ensure I didn't miss anything: 1) Visit the site. 2) Click the container button or use the shortcut. 3) Click 'Manage Containers' 4) Click 'New Container' 5) Name the container, click 'Ok' 6) Open the multi-account containers panel again. 7) Click 'Always Open This Site in...' 8) Select your new container. But wait, you're still not done! 9) Open the site again in a new tab. 10) Check the 'Remember my decision for this site' box. (Didn't I already tell it to ALWAYS open the site in that container, in step 7?) 11) Click 'Open in [your container] Container' That's how you create a new container to always open a site in with the Multi-Account Containers extension.

Mozilla gets too much Google money to do that. I've asked for them to do a first party extension for this, and they have "no plans" to do so. Unfortunately, I don't trust a third party extension with this either.

  If you don't trust a third party, how about creating your own? That should provide an answer for your trust issues.

    This could be said for most of one's software stack, but there's only so much time in a day.
