What Hacker News says
5 sourcesThe Temporary Containers extension is unmaintained:
https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/618
In Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life betterThe creator and maintainer of that extension has passed away in January.
https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/618
In AI real-time human full-body photo generatorUnfortunately the containers are all using the same fingerprint: https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/51
In Multi-Account ContainersThe answer is using Temporary Contains with "Automatic Mode" enabled in the preferences.
I just opened a new tab normally, with no shortcut, and it automatically created a fresh temp container "tmp2". I logged into HN and replied to this comment. I will close the tab now, and in 5 minutes, due to another Temp Containers setting, everything in the temp container will be wiped.
The whole silly "No Container" business goes away entirely.
