I stopped using them when I realized they can switch into a "Facebook" container when I visit Facebook, bit they can't switch back out of it when I subsequently visit another site.

This was a common feature request. Has it been implemented, yet?



Seems high-risk to me: All Facebook needs to do is set up a redirector that isn't at a domain considered "Facebook", and include a tracking ID in the redirector URL, and they'll be able to try and de-anonymize your non-"Facebook" container when your tracker-laden link opens in it.


The facebook extension by mozilla solves this: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/facebook-container-extensio...


That's not the current behavior, so I'd say it's been implemented.


There's an extension which does. https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers
