There's been a feature request open against Firefox for quite some time to enable this, but there's been no real movement to date. ![]() However, there's a pretty key (IMO) bit of functionality missing: there's no native way to set a bookmark to always open in a specific container. If you're supporting widely distributed kit that you reach through different proxies (SSH tunnels for example), rather than messing around switching Firefox's settings around (though I used to use FoxyProxy), you can simply configure the relevant domain to open in a preconfigured container. Individual containers can also be configured to use different proxy settings. It's not just privacy benefits you gain though, particularly if you're in IT. The functionality allows you to (quite trivially) set a domain to always open within a specific container - so you could (for example) set Facebook to always switch to a container, making it harder for them to track you when you visit other sites (because you'll not be logged into FB in the referring container). This allows you to launch tabs inside a container (whether dedicated to that tab, or shared with some others) so that cookies, locally stored objects etc are only available within the container.Įssentially, it allows you to isolate sites/domains into their own little playground, away from anything else you might want to visit. For quite some time now, Firefox has had a function called Multi Account Containers built into it. ![]()
