How did you define custom containers? I only see the 4 defaults of personal, work, banking, shopping.

To enable it in FF57 you have to enable the options in about:config (I believe it's enabled by default in FF58). Go to about:config in your browser and enable the following flags: 1) privacy.userContext.enabled and 2) privacy.userContext.ui.enabled

Once they are enabled, you can create under Settings > General > Tabs > Settings

Ah, got it. I use Nightly; there's a Container Tabs > Settings page in Preferences. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Or go ahead and install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

Makes it simpler and more accessible.
