I also want ephemeral containers so I could open a tab that forgets its cookies when I'm done. Think private browsing but without forgetting my history, requiring a new window, or being limited to one context at a time.

EDIT: Looks like there are already extensions doing that ! nice !
Can you send a link?
On firefox, "Self destructing cookies": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destruct...
You're welcome :)

Every time I use someone else's computer now, I'm horrified to see my settings from last time on random sites. You don't realize how much tracking is done until it's not the standard anymore. I even forgot to log out of places, so I've defaulted to opening private windows instead.
Anyway back in topic, SDC helps a lot but doesn't do everything OP wanted to do. I too would like to be able to open Facebook without wondering what other openings tabs might be using it, preventing SDC from removing the cookies. I'm really really excited Mozilla is doing this. SDC is a good start until it's out of nightly/beta though.

There are some browser extensions that to do this, but they're pretty clunky overall.
Mostly I see it actually working a lot like android's url-based intents, where there are things recognized as "apps" and actions directed at urls within that scope go to that 'app' to decide what to do with it, and things outside it go to a more traditional browser environment.
