Here are a few ideas on how to surface this feature:
[[File:Containers-file-menu.PNG|668px|frameless]]
 
For v1, this feature is discoverable via the File menu. However, on Windows, the File menu is hidden until the user hits the Alt key. As a potential solution, the Containers menu could be added as an item under the ‘Hamburger’ menu on the right side of the toolbar.
 
Containers are not promoted front and center for a reason. Through user research, we’ve found that most people have only one account per website, and that they don’t separate their online selves into work/home/banking/etc. Making the Containers interface accessible via an icon on the toolbar means adding one more icon to Firefox. It means more visual distraction and perception of bloat. y keeping this feature accessible under a menu item, we ensure that only users who need it will discover it.
 
Before this iteration, we’ve thought of a few other places to surface this feature. Some of these places were found to be more relevant to the Universal Account Switcher project.
