## Review summary

The add-on is praised for its simplicity and ability to assign different proxies to separate Firefox containers, enabling multi-proxy browsing within a single browser. It’s easy to set up and works well with SOCKS5 in many cases, making it a handy tool for geo-IP switching. However, reliability is inconsistent for some users, it appears unmaintained, and a few reviews report high RAM usage and requests for more advanced features like profile switching.

### Pros

- Easy to set up / simple to use
- Per-container proxies across a Firefox instance (different proxies per container)
- Does exactly what it promises / easy to configure
- Very useful / lifesaver for multi-proxy scenarios
- Supports SOCKS5 proxies

### Cons

- Not reliable for some users: connection errors / could not connect to the proxy
- Not updated in 3+ years / appears unmaintained
- High memory usage / RAM consumption
