I don't use containers because they require a mozilla account

They don't? I've gone as far as disabling all account functionality with about:config and am using containers right now.

I've been using containers for years- since at least 2019 - and I've never had a Mozilla account.

This would have been around the time containers were first announced. But again maybe I misunderstood something.
