Firefox 58 has "persona" tabs. Coloured tabs that keep their own sessions. You can just configure multiple personas and work on them all simultaneously from the same window (or you can use different windows, if you prefer).

It's good even for creating fake accounts, test accounts, testing apps from the perspective of different user sessions etc.



They're available in earlier versions, but I think you have to turn in on in about:config.

Really? I can configure two personas to go through two different proxies? I can disable javascript in one and leave it enabled in the other?

Those are features I need in Containers, but as far as I've been able to read, they aren't present and there are no plans to allow for them.


Can I check I understand: Firefox has

- Profiles

- Containers

- Persona tabs

?


Just two things: Profiles and Multi-Account Containers. The original poster was referring to Containers when saying "persona tabs."
