Review summary

Temporary Containers is widely praised as a lightweight, reliable privacy boost for Firefox. Users highlight automatic isolation that limits cross-site tracking, optional permanent cookies, and automatic cleanup of containers when the last tab closes. It works well in the background and pairs nicely with Firefox’s Multi Account Container. It is open source and has community-driven maintenance, with some noting a fork after the original developer’s passing. A few users report a learning curve in settings and occasional bugs or feature requests (dark mode, shortcut to convert to permanent containers). Overall, a highly recommended privacy tool.

Pros

Strong privacy protection through automatic isolation that limits cross-site tracking and reduces fingerprinting
Automatic, background operation with minimal user effort
Lightweight and reliable performance
Open-source and community-maintained, with forks available when needed
Nice complement to Firefox Multi Account Container
