This experimental feature allows Firefox users to log into the same website using multiple accounts.
The companys engineers define the Container Tabs as a feature that splits the users browsing sessions into different containers.
These separate containers will allow the user to log into a website using different identities.
We all portray different characteristics of ourselves in different situations, says Mozilla security engineerTanvi Vyas.
The way I speak with my son is much different than the way I communicate with my co-workers.
The things I tell my friends are different than what I tell my parents.
Im much more guarded when withdrawing money from the bank than I am when shopping at the grocery store.
I have the ability to use multiple identities in multiple contexts.
But when I use the web, I cant do that very well.
With Containers, users can open tabs in multiple different contexts Personal, Work, Banking, and Shopping.
The user can use both mail accounts in side-by-side tabs simultaneously.
The Containers feature offers users some control over the techniques websites can use to track them.
Tracking cookies set while shopping in the Shopping Container wont be accessible to sites in the Personal Container.
Containers also offers the user a way to compartmentalize sensitive information.
Assume a user visits attacker.com in an non-banking-container.
However, if all goes well in the developmental process that could eventually change.
