The Firefox documentation says to Enable Containers through General Settings -> Tabs [1] but there is no such checkbox [2]. Going into about:config and changing privacy.userContext.enabled and privacy.userContext.ui.enabled to true [3] enables the checkbox in the settings page [4]. This is Firefox Version 116.0.3 under Ubuntu.
I use Chrome and Firefox interchangeably so I don't have a dog in this fight. Containers aka Personalities needs to be made a first class feature in Firefox and not require the above steps to make it useful to the less tech savy end user.

- BeefWellington 3y agoThe checkbox is indeed there for me in 111.x. Perhaps the documentation needs an update for the latest version if it's been moved elsewhere. Edit: I just checked in 116; it appears to just be always enabled now.
- heftig 3y agoYeah, they're enabled by default only on Nightly. Apparently they're still considered "experimental". Officially, you enable them through the MAC extension, which also adds some more UI. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... Other extensions (like Tree Style Tab) can also cause container tabs to be enabled.
