Hi,
I enjoy containers a lot and want to add a piece of idea to the project.
Regarding the privacy protection provided by containers, it would be interesting to save history or cookies in one container and not in another. For instance, I might want cookies to survive in my Finance container, so I don’t need to click the cookie banner each time I go on my bank’s website, but not wish to be tracked in my Shopping container since I hate personalized ads. The same goes for search, history, download…
In any case, nice job.
[EDIT]
PS: of course, another related issue would be to be able to clear history, cookies, etc. by hand for a given container, or even use the “Forget” option for a given container.
I agree that this Containers feature is amazing but would also love the ability to have each container delete all cookies etc when the last tab for that container is closed.
+1 this idea - I’d love to be able to do this too.
My use case is similar: Currently I have cookies set to be cleared on exiting Firefox. It’d be handy to have the “Work” container remember cookies and other offline data always and forever (so I don’t need to always log into the million different work things we have); but the “Shopping” container definitely would be cleared on exit. Then also as part of that, perhaps a way to wipe cookies in a particular container so I don’t even need to exit Firefox.
This would allow extension authors like EFF and so on to write interesting mixes of how containers work. We are hoping to see interesting experiments much like authors have had with cookies, storage and HTTPS redirection over the years.
If something gets popular we can promote it to being part of our extension etc.
I need to be able to save my containers when I close Firefox, so that when I re-open all the settings for each container is saved. I presently use this for twitter, but every time I reopen Firefox each container is logged into the same account.
