2020-05-14 Splod Seems to fight with the built-in Google container and causes constant thrashing on the tab bar.
2020-01-24 Firefox user 14416006 It doesn't work at all. If I login to gmail and open youtube, it's logged into the same account.
2020-01-08 Moz://FifthAxiom Serious bugs in the Facebook-container extension code involving triggering actions on URL change / container change. - Clicking links / changing URLs in omni-box from container site to container site will close the current tab (history lost) and opens two tabs to new container site - Clicking links container site to non- container site working okay (one new tab opened, history container maintained) - For Google container add-on sometimes when clicking on link in search results, it will not open a new tab but opens a new site in the current container (login session lost). This means Google is not separated from other sites. Also occurs when typing in the omni-box - Changing URLs in omni-box from container site to non- container (and visa versa) will close current tab (it should open a new tab instead of closing the container tab although arguable) - No problems while staying in same container *** TESTED *** All container add-ons are conflicting as a result (you can only use one). Mozilla needs to change the code that triggers actions (triggered twice going from container to container site using multiple add-ons). Conclusion: You cannot fork the Facebook container add-on without rewriting the code.
2019-11-14 Karol I don't really get what the users rating this extension poorly expected. It does what it says. It isolates YouTube from other websites. Of course it will break if run together with a Google container extension. That is to be expected since they deal with the same infrastructure.
2019-10-17 Firefox user 14719962 WARNING!! Do NOT use this add-on if you use Google Containers as the two will fight over which gets to contain YouTube, driving FF to 200% CPU utilization!
2019-08-02 Firefox user 15109409 Appears to Work absolutely flawlessly for Youtube.com, I will follow up if I run into any problems but all looks a-okay!
2018-08-21 Firefox user 14234561 Sorry, mate, this one doesn't work too well. I have this, and a heap of other forks of the original facebook container installed, including the one to isolate google containers. When I visit Google Keep, that triggers the switch to a 'google' container, then when the youtube links I have in Keep are visible, it triggers your plugin, then back, and forth, and back, and forth... forever. Had to disable this one to make it stop!
