Do I still need containers? (Bonus: User account switching).
Do I still need containers? (Bonus: User account switching).
I'm using the Firefox Multi-Account Containers Addon to reduce Google/Amazon and others following me around on the internet.
It's also useful to switch between multiple accounts on the same site.
I'm a little fed up with that addon though, mainly because it's impossible to set up a default container for a specific site (main account) while still being able to open that site in another container (alt account) when necessary.
I read something about how Firefox containerizes each tab automatically without any addon so that the Muli-Account Containers are redundant? Is there any truth to this?
How do you handle multiple accounts on websites?

You're viewing a single thread.
Firefox now isolates third-party cookies by default for all users. This means that you only need containers if you want to do something like:
- Logging in to multiple accounts on the same site
- Browsing sites that use cookies to limit how many articles you can read
- Having private tabs in the same window as your regular tabs
If you want to remove the extension but not lose the functionality, it's possible to use about:config to manually enable containers by setting
privacy.userContext.enabled and privacy.userContext.ui.enabled to true.
You can then edit your containers from about:preferences#containers
