I agree on the containers. It's such a powerful feature, but it feels weird to need extensions to make containers work the way many feel they should intuitively. For instance I have a Google container, but I can't figure out how to make outbound search links open in a different container.

afaik multi account containers should work, if you set google as "always open in google container". temporary containers (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...) would also work.

I use multi account containers and it doesn't work for me. For instance, if I go to amazon.com directly, I get my Amazon container. But if I do a search in Google and then click an Amazon link I will still be in the Google container.

You can right click to open in a specific container. Take a bit of forethought though.

This is fixed now with the Limit to Designated Sites feature. It's a little buried though: click the multi-account containers button in the title bar > the arrow next to your Google container > Manage This Container > Limit to Designated Sites.

Thank you. This is the what I am after. Unfortunately Limit to Designated Sites does not work when combined with the Containerize add-on.

Google feeds Mozilla. I am astonished this extension is even available in the store.
