Firefox containers are tab groups on steroids. Tab groups are just aesthetic while Firefox containers can not only group and colour code the tabs but isolate cache and stuff. This means you can use two gmail accounts in two separate tabs. It also means you can isolate you personal bank or other websites so that other data harvesting website cant get to that information. :)

Firefox containers have been there long back before tab groupings were available in Chrome as well.

Last time I checked it didn't allow me to group tabs, so not sure why it would be applicable to my usecase which is an UI thing. Seems to be two separate features to me at least, but maybe you know how to use containers to group tabs in top bar of browser.

Yeah - not the OP but I investigated containers and they didn't do what you're asking for. I ultimately ended up installing Simple Tab Groups to get similar behavior to chrome. It would be nice if this functionality was actually built into the browser.

Please follow the link. You should be able to group it, colour code it and isolate them. For example, I have different colours for different different containers. I can also open only container designated websites in it. For example, if I am in facebook container and I open google websites, it can switch the google tab to google container. There are so many things you can do with it.
