"... and then I discovered the privacy.firstparty.isolate option (in about:config), which effectively gives every site its own container ..."
But with its own IP, possibly a non-routable, private IP ?
I think not ... and that's too bad because that is what we really need. We need the ability to chroot jail a GUI program just like we jail named or (whatever).
A different root, a different IP, and no access (or knowledge) of the rest of the system. If I used facebook, that's the browser I would run it in.

This is exactly what Qubes offers. Have as many separate browsers as you like, each originating from a different IP using VPN proxyVMs. Or just run everything through Tor using a Whonix gateway.
