Ok, I did some digging and I think I figured out the difference. The multi-account containers add-on adds the following:
The first one is the major feature for me since I use it on my work laptop, personal laptop, and desktop, and having the "always open" setting sync across devices has value. I don't use the VPN feature, but I think you can set certain containers to always use a certain VPN configuration.
I just always used the add-on from the start because I thought there wasn't a UI for it.
There is no container option in new Firefox profile. It appears only after when you've installed Multi container extension. Firefox from Arch Linux repo.
It is there on a new profile in the fedora package. Maybe something fedora enables?
That can be possible. I remember seeing the option in a clean profile while using Ubuntu.
