Hi All, TL;DR - containers is going well, we made it a web extension and it will continue on addons.mozilla.org
I just wanted to highlight that we have graduated our extension of Test Pilot Containers to be on AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/ addon/multi-account-containers/ We have had a few confused users about what is happening with containers. There is confusion around why the addon doesn't work in 57+ which is due to it being a legacy addon to support 56, the extension can now be fully WebExtensions after 57 and to install there you can use: https://github.com/ mozilla/multi-account-containers/releases/latest the addons team is working on a fix for the website to allow Beta/Nightly users to download there. We have also removed in Nightly the ability to use the drawer icon which was native to nightly as it was a subset of features that were provided by the extension. To open a container: - Long press on the + button - Use the file menu (alt+f) - Use the extension above (ctrl+period) - Right click links with the context menu :bkelly suggested I email here in this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla .org/show_bug.cgi?id=1402342 which provides further clarification. We have exciting posts coming soon to explain further, I just wanted to highlight we aren't dropping containers just clearing up experiences for when 57 is stable. Any user of >57 can actually install any container addon to enable containers: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/collections/jkt/container-addons/ In Beta and Stable releases containers is still disabled by default, installing a container addon will enable them. To reduce confusion here I have raised: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1402608 to allow users of beta/stable to enable containers through about:preferences also. If in doubt feel free to reach out to: contain...@mozilla.com Thanks Jonathan _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
