Unfortunately NoScript is not able to allow/deny selectively for containers.

I block all Facebook domains with NoScript so I cant really use facebook in a container.

You might be interested in Facebook Container by Mozilla[1] then, as an alternative to your NoScript rules.

Thanks already using it, but this doesn't give me confindence, that all Facebook traffic on all other sites is blocked.

Its primary purpose was for blocking Facebook on other sites as you browse the web.

uMatrix is good for that. You can default block facebook scripts/cookies/etc. everywhere, but on facebook allow them. It's how I block google everywhere except when I'm logging into gmail.

I guess in this case the easiest would be a separate browser for Facebook.

That is what I was doing for that past few years: Opera for Facebook... but Opera is a no go these days because of ownership changes and it would be great to not keep multiple browsers open for simple tasks.

There are others: Midori, Vivaldi, if on Linux there is Epiphany. There are plenty of Firefox based forks too.
