Do you know what the difference is between this extension and the native support in FF57? It seems to me they are one and the same. Could it be this was an extension that is now natively part of FF Quantum?

The decision was made to expose the relevant WebExtension APIs required to build containers uis to add-ons, rather than shipping with a specific containers ui.

With the add-on there's a useful button you can put in the navbar that lets you easily edit the containers and add sites to always open using them. I didn't know you could even do the later until I started using the add-on.

Honestly not sure. I just read about it in another thread talking about Firefox and some people there were saying that the extension replaces having to go into about:config.

The addon supplements it IIRC.
