Containers are useful for using multiple accounts/logins in one browser instance. However, Google Docs does not work correctly. Every time I open a Google Docs/Sheets/etc. file in one container, it loads in a new tab in another container. It does this even if I copy the link into a tab with the correct container. I need to keep my Google accounts separated: one is personal, the other is for work. I like Firefox, and use it to get away from Google in other ways. But I can't escape Google because of work and sharing files with certain people. I hope there is a fix for this. Thanks in advance.

Chrome can open more then one Google account and keep them separate. Is that a problem when you use Chrome. I usually tell people anything related to Microsoft product to use Edge and anything related to Chrome/Google accounts to use Chrome for that.

Thanks for the response.

The point is, I don't want to use Chrome or Edge (a Chromium-based browser). I have various reasons that I won't get into here.

If there's no fix for this, I'll have to start using Chrome for work and keep Firefox for personal use. I'll be disappointed, though.
