User Story

As a user, I want to keep some types of browsing activity completely separate from others, so I can conveniently accomplish all types of tasks in the same browser without worrying about privacy.

As a user, I want to be able to to log into a domain using multiple accounts on the same browser, so I don't have to switch browsers or use multiple browsers to manage my multiple accounts/identities.

As a user, I want the option of having extra privacy and separation for chosen sites by default, so I don’t have to think about it every time or switch to another privacy browser in order to open those specific sites.

Acceptance Criteria

  • I can keep my personal/sensitive data separate from other browsing activities
  • I can keep different types of activities separate from each other (e.g. home life vs work life)
  • I can manage different accounts/identities
  • I can choose to always open chosen sites in a separate Space

Severity: -- → N/A

Summary: [UX] Contained Spaces → Support for multiple user profiles

Chris, re your change to the summary: The discussion on the original GitHub issue clearly refers to containers, not multiple profiles. I'm guessing this was just a mistake, so I'll go ahead and fix the summary. If you disagree, please feel free to change it back. Thanks!

Summary: Support for multiple user profiles → Support for containers

I really hope this will be worked on. I use Tab containers extensively on Desktop and also use Facebook container to block out Facebook tracking, but without container support in Firefox mobile, Facebook container doesn't work.

I know this issue is probably very low priority since it hasn't been touched for 2 years but I do hope Mozilla adds it eventually since it would be greatly beneficial to user privacy.
