Hate to be a black cloud, but as much as I love containers, my containers and their settings often disappeared. I can no longer remember exactly why. it may be if i disabled containers and then re-enabled them. (Containers may be a source of glitches so disabling is to help with troubleshooting.)

getpocket.com needs to be logged in via container 0. if you put getpocket to a personal container, and don't login to getpocket from container 0, then firefox's save to pocket feature does not work.

i cannot save bookmarks to automatically open in set containers (personal gmail to open in one container, work gmail to open in another container, etc.).

Otherwise, containers is something i miss and i have used workarounds to implement the same with MS Edge.

Sure you can: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/container-boo...


Why not start firefox with the -P flag for troubleshooting? And keep your default Profile using containers.


Not sure what the flag does but your context tells me another profile without my extensions is established. The problem is I am trying to figure out which extension is causing the problem. So enabling and disabling each one is supposed to be a procedure.

Regardless, enabling/disabling should not cause losing settings.


instead of bookmarking if are fine using another extension, then use "Session Boss" to save and restore sessions
