We love getting issues on our GitHub repo: https://github.com/mozilla/testpilot-containers And we're asking folks to upvote their favorite issues, so we can point more add-on developers at these lists. Since we ca

The add-on flips the config setting, but also: 1. Implements the browserAction pop-up UI for managing containers & tabs 2. Adds the ability to assign sites to always open in a certain container

Sounds kinda like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1288858 ? Or maybe a new bug in the [META] Contextual Identity / Containers Bugs ? ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id

As a Firefox engineer, then, let me say props for being ahead of your time! (And waaaaay ahead of mine - I'm new to PrivSec engineering at Firefox) I'm not sure if Cookiepie directly inspired the engineers who built originAttribut

This is a lighter-weight approach. It's per-tab so it doesn't require a whole other Firefox process to run.

(Someone from Firefox here) It's a popular request; about as popular as everyone who wants Ctrl+T to open in the default container. :) So, for our core experience we picked the default behavior that helps maximize the privacy and secur

Another good idea. I filed an issue in the repo for this. Add +1's here: https://github.com/mozilla/testpilot-containers/issues/343

You're right. We keep control over the experiments so that we know the consistency of the data we're measuring. A problem with using our full release channel Telemetry is that so many users have so many variables it's hard to

That's a neat idea. Is there a bug for it in bugzilla?

Can you run the "Pulse" experiment and provide feedback on the sites that are slow and/or broken? We will use that data to help debug performance problems - especially the worst ones on popular sites. https://testp

Independent of Containers in test pilot, we are planning to do a shield study with variations of privacy-related settings toggled for users, then measure and ask users how their web experience worked. The goal is to find improved privacy re

Great feedback. A segment of people seem do correlate windows with containers more easily than tabs. We are measuring both window & tab usage in the experiment to get a quantitative sense for it too. I personally use Tab Groups add-on a

We are also hard at work supporting add-on authors porting to WebExtension APIs. I'm especially trying to help Privacy & Security add-on authors.

Just to be clear, this is NOT just a simple UI version of profiles. Containers only separate Cookies, localStorage, indexedDB, HTTP data cache, Image Cache (bug in progress), and other areas supported by originAttributes (See https:/&

This is the most satisfying experience I have so far using Containers. :)

You can disable search engine suggestions in the Firefox Search preferences, if that's what you're worried about?

Neither location bar autocomplete nor form field autocomplete are separated by userContextId ... yet. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Contextual_Identity_Projec... for details.

We have an issue in the GitHub repo for this ... the more upvotes it gets, the more likely we will put it into a next release. :) https://github.com/mozilla/testpilot-containers/issues/306

As a Mozillian who also cares very much about open standards, I agree. Google has both a long and recent track record of helping to advance open standards - CalDAV, WebRTC, WebM, etc. - and I have no doubt they will continue to do so - e.g.
