Firefox Feature Lets Users Use Multiple Identities On A Single Site

If you’re a social media manager or someone who makes a living off social media, chances are you might have multiple accounts to manage. You might have one account for your company/brand, and one for your own personal use. However juggling multiple accounts can be tricky on the desktop.

This means having to log in and out and be sure that what you are posting is under the correct account. The good news is that soon you won’t have to worry about that as Mozilla has announced a new feature for Firefox that basically allows users to log into a site under multiple identities.

According to Mozilla, “With Containers, users can open tabs in multiple different contexts – Personal, Work, Banking, and Shopping.  Each context has a fully segregated cookie jar, meaning that the cookies, indexeddb, localStorage, and cache that sites have access to in the Work Container are completely different than they are in the Personal Container. That means that the user can login to their work twitter account on twitter.com in their Work Container and also login to their personal twitter on twitter.com in their Personal Container.”

It should be noted that on mobile, social media platforms like Instagram already allow users to log in with multiple identities, but we guess with Firefox’s Containers, we won’t have to wait for services to roll the feature out.
