## Description

Container Tab Groups is a Firefox extension that replicates Chrome-like tab groups by utilizing secure and private container tabs. No additional configuration or add-ons are required to isolate cookies and logins per tab group, enabling task-focused browsing sessions. It offers features such as per-container language preferences, user agent emulation, proxy settings, and options to auto-clear cookies.

The extension supports per-window container management, automatic tab sorting, panorama grid views, tab grouping, and tagging inside containers. Keyboard shortcuts allow quick access to container controls. Compatible with private browsing and popular tab management extensions, Container Tab Groups is an actively maintained solution for efficient and secure tab organization in Firefox.

## Review summary

Users generally praise Container Tab Groups for Chrome-like tab grouping and easy-to-use organization, with solid support for multi-login within Firefox containers. However, recurring drawbacks include the inability to move multiple tabs at once, sorting and navigation within groups that can be awkward or buggy (panorama issues, tabs lingering in the top bar after sort), and occasional stability/compatibility bugs affecting other browser features. Overall, it's seen as the strongest Chrome-like tab grouping option for Firefox, but not without notable usability and reliability caveats.

### Pros

- Chrome-like tab grouping and strong tab management.
- User-friendly interface / easy to use.
- Supports multi-login within Firefox containers.

### Cons

- Cannot move multiple tabs at once into a group (no multi-select drag).
- Sorting and navigation within groups is awkward and buggy (panorama scrolling issues; after sorting, tabs may appear in the top bar).
- Stability/compatibility bugs affecting other browser features (dragging tabs issues, Gmail notifier interference, misclassification of internal pages as containers).
