Why containers don't work in private mode? I want the tracking protection, no history and containers at the same time.

In Private Mode, both tracking protection and no history is active. But not containers. Containers aren't active during private mode.

That is probably because local storage and storing data in the profile folder is disabled in PB mode, so it is either use PB mode and do not use containers or omit PB mode.

Note that you can enable Tracking Protection in normal mode.

You can set this pref to true on the about:config page to see more Tracking Protection choices in "Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security".
