Firefox multi account containers

Post by StuartR »

While playing around with the Firefox Facebook Container Extension, I discovered the Firefox Multi Account Container extension.

This allows you to create groups of sites that have completely separate cookie storage and cannot see anything about other sites. It also allows you to log in to the same site using different accounts in different containers. This is already proving very useful. For example I have set gmail, google maps, Google Plus, Google Keep and others to open in a single container. These all share common login information, but I could log in to a different gmail account from a different container, or use Google search from a non-logged-in container to preserve a little privacy.
