I believe this is the expected behavior. The add-on uses the contextualIdentities API to create, edit, and delete the platform-level Containers. So it's changing the built-in Firefox Containers.

Would accept a PR that updates text or copy to clarify this intended behavior.

@groovecoder I would like to try this one out, can you just explain a bit more about the kind of text you want to update to show the intended behaviour? Maybe an example?
