Multi-Account Containers to “Exchange messages with programs other than Firefox”

You don't really need this extension to use containers -- it just adds some convenience, but the main functionality (creating containers, opening tabs in containers, moving tabs between containers, ...) is in Firefox core.

There are also other convenience extensions that use containers -- like Simple Tab Groups, which allows creating groups and assigning them to containers. I use it and have no need for the "Multi-Account Containers" extension.

If anyone else removes the extension like I just did:

1. The extension provides the ability to map certain sites to certain containers (more: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#w_what-you-c... #5). If you use this feature, as far as I can tell, you need the extension.

2. You'll need to enable these about:config flags to get the container options: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29347284#29348057. Also, removing the extension and then enabling those flags still reset my container settings to the defaults.

I use the site-to-container mappings, so I reinstalled the extension.

My only extension for containers is "Sticky Window Containers": the container used for the first tab in a window is used for all subsequent tabs.
