My understanding is that container tabs are only enabled on nightly so this is likely invalid. Pleas confirm if container tabs are installed?

Beta is built like Release, to get container tabs you need to install the extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ which is a more complete implementation. What's built-in to Nightly is the original experimental version stabilized. Even in Nightly it's recommended to install the extension.

During my PM review last night I validated that multi-account containers works in Beta 5. Marking invalid.

Hello! Indeed after installing the add-on everything works as expected on Firefox 89.0b7 on all OS's.

Thank you!
