Hm, last official release was 8 months ago. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-cont... The github page looks fairly active, and there is a fix merged already for this https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/pull/936 and once issue #933 gets merged, it will generate a source release for 2.3.11 at https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/releases which will probably become 2.3.12 on AMO after some manual intervention.

I've been using Mozilla's extension[0] that contains everything Facebook-related automatically with Firefox containers and it's been working great. This morning I looked for a similar extension for Google and I've found this fork[1] of Mozilla's extension. It's working as expected so far but I'd love for it to be officially maintained by Mozilla at some point. There is an open issue about it[2].

Facebook Container dev here. It breaks those sites because the extension blocks all Facebook resources (and tracking) from loading on non-Facebook sites. To use Facebook login on a site, you'll need to add the website to the Facebook Container. Follow the directions from the docs[1]. This will stop you from having to turn the extension on and off entirely. [1] https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/blob/master/docs...

The Facebook Container Extension does this. The maintainers hard code the list, but it really makes me think that someone can make an extension to let a user manage a list themselves. As an early adopter of Facebook Container, I had to live through when I couldn't log into messenger.com (the only part of facebook I really used). For that specific project, they maintainers wanted to control the list of domains as opposed to allowing users to maintain their own list and "dilute" the effectiveness of the container for "everyone else". Ie, if something was missing, they wanted to fix it upstream and push it down. I would like to see an extension like this for google. I do use google and I have set the various google apps I use to only open in the google container. But the main google.com/search domain does open in any container. I have to be

FF also has an extension for always opening Facebook in an isolated container: https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook

Disclosure: I'm the author of the add-on mentioned in the story. We tried a few different UXs and none of them felt ideal. We have an open issue to add Messenger to the list of FB domains that are contained. https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/issues/45
