I've combined TST with 1) "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" (to have different "profiles" within the same browser, very useful for personal/work/shopping/etc), 2) "Simple Tab Groups" to be able to switch contexts (social networks time, research, free time reading and news... these are topical groups, different functionality from containers).

i love everything about multi-account containers except when it comes managing two google accounts (for work and personal). I can never get them to work proeprly with the number of redirects and whatnot. not sure who to blame here but i hope Firefox comes up with a fix soon.

It would be better to create two profiles in firefox to separate work and personal. And both can be started at the same in two different browser instances if you like.

This, absolutely. What I mentioned as "work" above is personal work. Keeping work sessions, history and bookmarks separate is better (and probably safer?) than having all in the same browser. This issue is even bigger with Chrome if your work account happens to be managed, as it may take over your browser's settings.

will try that approach. thanks for the idea.
