is this just for windows/linux (desktop) installs of firefox? or is android included in this feature?

No support for Android (yet). Install this Facebook container [1] on the desktop.

A request: I run Firefox nightly [2] as my main browser and would like to request everyone to consider using a pre-release version of Firefox if possible. It helps us make the argument that Mozilla should not run experiments in Firefox stable.

Been running nightly builds since I think 0.4 - makes web development ‘fun’ as you can never be sure if something works or not in a browser nightly build! Fortunately I don’t have to do that much any more.

Containers were not supported on Android last time I checked, a few month ago. No containers on iOS also.

One more problem is that containers are an addon and do not sync between Firefoxes on different desktops. Still extremely useful though.
