Firefox Multi-Account Containers lets you keep parts of your online life separated into color-coded tabs. Cookies are separated by container, allowing you to use the web with multiple accounts and integrate Mozilla VPN for an extra layer of privacy.

Firefox Multi-Account Containers Extension

The Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension allows users to segregate different aspects of their online presence into color-coded tabs. This innovative tool enables seamless management of multiple accounts on the same site, avoiding the need for different browsers for your various email and social accounts.

Key Features:

Account Management: Sign in to multiple accounts (e.g., work and personal emails) without switching browsers.
Browsing Segregation: Keep different browsing activities, like banking and social media, separate for enhanced privacy.
Privacy Protection: Use Mozilla VPN with individual containers to mask your location and secure your data.

After installation, easily manage and customize your containers by changing their colors and names. For detailed instructions on how to use the Multi-Account Containers feature and integrate it with Mozilla VPN, check our help articles.

Great extension! I wish I could use my own uploaded icons and choose from a wider range of colors instead of the limited options provided. Additionally, due to the limited color choices, it's difficult to determine if a container is the one I need, and the other options don't work as well. I would appreciate a small title, similar to the bottom of spreadsheet tabs, overlaid on the icon color. We have Retina and 2K+ displays. Also, opening up a new container always in it's own window too could be helpful. ie research window next to wasting time window, etc without pulling tabs off to separate. Thanks, y'all!
