Is that a permanent solution or do I have to set it up every time? I just use profiles. about:profiles there you can setup a new one and launch it in a new window. I like to theme the windows in a different color to not get confused. Bright red is for 18+

Firefox containers are basically just named cookie sets: they don't have per-container settings, they just let you create containerized tabs that don't share cookies between each other (maybe local and session storage too, idk).

They're useful if you want to make it a bit harder for websites to track you around, or for selectively keeping you logged into a website (alt account usage comes to mind), but your use case seems to be centered around actual profiles.

Oh this is going to come in handy for testing the web app at work. I've just been using private windows

If you're frequently creating new containers I suggest the Temporary Containers extension, it saves you having to manually clear everything when you're done with a specific session and want to start another
