How to share personal and work space in the new Firefox

The test version of Firefox introduced a feature called Containers. It is useful for those who have several different accounts on social networks and want to use them at the same time.

If you need to distinguish between official and private activities on the web, then it's best to do this by creating multiple virtual personalities. However, the constant switching between different user accounts at Facebook, Twitter and "VKontakte" takes a lot of time and effort. experimental Firefox greatly simplifies the task.

Containers in Firefox allows you to create multiple isolated spaces (containers) and easy to open each of them their own tabs. This can be done by using the main menu or the context menu that appears when you right-click on any link.

By default, the browser has four container: Personal, Work, Banking and Shopping. You can open several different sites in one container, or, for example, one and the same site in different containers. In this case, different accounts can be used in each tab.

So that the user is not confused in open tabs, each of which has a color indicator, indicating the container to which it belongs. In addition, the status bar is present the name and icon of this virtual space.

The main feature of the new features Firefox is that these sites are open in different containers are stored separately and do not interact with each other. So you can for example open several Facebook tabs in different containers. For the server, they will look like a completely different, not related to each other session.
