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.
