The best parts of Multi Account Containers are truly streamlined with third party extensions.

Temporary Containers and Container Bookmarks elevate the experience to a new level.

I really wish that Firefox could embrace some of this functionality as native, or make it easier for these developers to integrate their extensions into the Firefox ecosystem.
