Put your multiple online personalities in Firefox Multi-Account Containers

September 14, 2017

Our new Multi-Account Containers extension for Firefox means you can finally wrangle multiple email/social accounts.

Our new Multi-Account Containers extension for Firefox means you can finally wrangle those two email/social accounts

Maybe you’ve got two Gmail or Instagram or Twitter or Facebook accounts (or a few more than that). Maybe you want to keep your bank’s website farther away from your Pinterest board. Maybe you just like to keep everything very, very organized. Have we got an extension for you!

The Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension lets you carve out a separate box for each of your online lives – so Exhaustive Shopping Researcher Self can steer clear of Humble Bragging Social Self, and Super Professional Work Self can go about the bizness without worrying about being followed by those other two. Click the Multi-Account Containers icon to use or manage the feature

Each Container stores cookies separately, so you can log into the same site with different accounts and online trackers can’t easily connect the browsing. (But just to be clear, Firefox can only sync with one Firefox Account. What? You haven’t signed up to sync Firefox across devices? Get a Firefox Account!)

Custom labels and color-coded tabs help keep your different activities or personas separate.

Exciting, right? Contain yourself! Install the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension today and be who you want to be.
