Alternative to Multi-Account Container for Firefox Android ?
Basically title.
Is there an alternative to Multi-Account Container for Firefox Android ? It seems that add on has not yet been released in AMO for android, and I use that Add-on in my firefox installed in another device (Windows), so was wondering if there is an option for Android. Thanks !
Multi-Account Containers pretty much just enables a technology, FirstPartyIsolation, that’s built into Firefox (and offers some UI for it).
The other extensions, which I know that use it (e.g. Facebook Container, Temporary Containers), aren’t available for Android Firefox either, so I’m guessing, that technology just isn’t implemented in Android Firefox.
So, yeah, you might have to go with a different solution:
If you just need to sign into a different profile occasionally, you could do so in Private Browsing.
You could install multiple different versions of Firefox, for example Firefox Beta or Fennec and then activate Sync between them.
You could also make use of Android’s Work Profile, which basically allows you to have the same app installed a second time, albeit the app in the Work Profile doesn’t have access to all your files, contacts etc… If you do want that, you can set that up with Insular, for example.
You are correct. It is not implemented on Android. I have two versions on my phone. Mull, and CookieWeb Preview. But also Tor for when I want to really go incognito.
