I've been using Mozilla's extension[0] that contains everything Facebook-related automatically with Firefox containers and it's been working great.

This morning I looked for a similar extension for Google and I've found this fork[1] of Mozilla's extension. It's working as expected so far but I'd love for it to be officially maintained by Mozilla at some point. There is an open issue about it[2].
