Facebook Container
Prevent Facebook from tracking you around the web. The Facebook Container extension for Firefox helps you take control and isolate your web activity from Facebook.
Facebook Container: Firefox Add-on for Privacy
Facebook Container is a Firefox extension that enhances your privacy by isolating your Facebook identity in a separate container, making it difficult for Facebook to keep track of your online activities with third-party cookies. This extension works by closing your Facebook tabs, deleting your Facebook cookies and logging you out of Facebook. Your subsequent Facebook visits will load in a new browser tab (Container). It also has limitations affecting website functionalities associated with Facebook, and is only available for Firefox 57 and higher on Desktop.

I am so glad to see Mozilla taking a stand against the over reaching privacy infringements of these large companies. Extension works pretty well.
