I use Strict Tracking Protection, Facebook Container and Multi-Account Container and I am beginning to think it’s overkill. Doesn’t Strict mode block third-party cookies anyway? I also clear cookies on exit. Containers allow us to login to the same site with different identities, so I am assuming it containerises first-party cookies too, but I wouldn’t need that. Also, doesn’t Multi-Account Container replace Facebook Container if you create a separate container for Facebook?

    i use temporary containers so even the same site has isolated cookies for different tabs, i’d say strict tracking protection and multi acc containers are completely different.

    you can also assign (socks5/http) proxies to different containers, very useful imo

      I had missed the proxies and it looks great. It would work well with FoxyProxy in my current setup. But I can’t get it to work with my network socks5 proxy. I enter something like http://ip:port (which works well with FoxyProxy) but I get ‘The proxy server is refusing connections’. Does the URL pattern look correct?

      EDIT: I get the web page only when Firefox VPN is running presumably because then the connection is routed through Firefox VPN rather than my socks proxy, so the proxy feature is not working here for some reason.
