Mozilla Brings Containers to Firefox 153, Isolating Cookies Across Work and Personal Tabs

3 articles · Updated · Mozilla & Firefox · Jul 21

Summary

  • Firefox 153 now includes a preview of native Containers, letting users keep work, shopping, personal and banking sessions logged in separately within one browser window.
  • Built into Firefox rather than offered only as an add-on, the feature isolates cookies and ad tracking by container so activity in one context is not visible to another.
  • The preview lets users open tabs in specific containers and customize names, colors and icons, while managing setup directly in Firefox settings or from the tab menu.
  • Mozilla said the move brings nearly a decade of Multi-Account Containers functionality into the browser core, though some extension features are still missing and the add-on can still run alongside it.
  • Firefox 153 is Mozilla's latest stable release and the first step in a broader push to make context separation a built-in part of future browsing features.
