You enable both Profiles and Containers, most of the profiles lose their name and instead display "No Container".

"Work" and "Facebook" are default containers, yet "Private" still displays appropriately.

Can you explain your setup plase? Is it you have multiple containers in each profile?

Can you explain your setup plase? Is it you have multiple containers in each profile?

Currently I'm just try to learn the software, so I've been installing browser extensions and testing configurations, though I have several goals I'm trying to accomplish.

  1. Work/Life balance. Being able to isolate my personal browsing from work browsing through separate browsers/profiles, and being able to close and open them independently.
  2. Isolate my sensitive browsing (banking, etc.) from my playing around. I thought firefox Containers might be a good fit for it.

Using "firefox.exe -P", it lists 3 Firefox Profiles, but I only use 2 of them. The 2 I use are the standard "default-release" and "3D Printing".

I enabled containers in Firefox though I haven't created any custom as of yet.

In the general menu, I selected "Browser Tamer" as the "Firefox container mode".

Then after running "Rediscover Browsers", it populates the following:

These are the 3 Profiles which all report as "No Container", which while accurate isn't very helpful.

In-Private reports correctly.

And strangely it detects 2 of the default containers

If I disable Firefox Container Mode and run a rediscover, the 3 profiles populate the correct names.

I don't think this behavior creates a functional problem, it just isn't ideal. If I had to guess, the function used to name the tabs is designed to either pull the Profile names OR the Container names. Instead you might be able to concatenate the profile with the container (ex: default-release:Facebook) to solve the problem.
