Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I did try that, but found that it still remembered site info for accounts I was logged in until fully I closed everything related to the firefox browser. So containers has been easiest solution except for the process of manually creating and then deleting ones I didn't need anymore beyond the one session.
I had used Temporary Containers, but it hasn't been updated since February 8, 2021. Not actively monitored for security by Mozilla either so stopped using it. That addon was a perfect experience though for what I wanted.
@ImaginaryFox I see. That's reasonable. I also had Temporary Containers in my head, but didn't suggest it as you wanted a native solution. Didn't even notice how old last update was! Unfortunately from my view and additional research, could not find a solution for you. It would be nice to have a "Open in New Temporary Container for Tab", that is managed temporarily and automatically deleted after closing tab.
Code doesn't rot, so you can use the extension. Is it not fit for purpose? Are you aware of any security issues? What is the scope of impact if there IS an issue?
Code DOES rot, because the dependency you rely on stop being updated, oh btw this thing has a critical cve now, this isn't supported by the new addon API, ...
Why do you think I asked about known security issues? 🙂
The addon should still work but the creator passed away earlier this year:

Oh that is really sad to hear. 😢
