MODERATORS
I rarely use the containers. Instead I prefer to seperate activities with different versions of firefox. I use Firefox ESR for normal browsing, Firefox for VPN browsing and Firefox Dev/Chromium for school. I also use a different color scheme on each firefox so I do not confuse them.
Wouldn't that be more work? If there will be a setting to change, an add-on to install or a bookmark to add you will need to repeat it multiple times
you can use profile manager to do what exactly are you doing. without install multiple version of firefox
