Firefox users can now protect their privacy on Facebook with the Facebook Container extension. This tool isolates Facebook activity into a separate container, making it harder for Facebook to track users across the web with third-party cookies.

How It Works

Facebook Container closes Facebook tabs, deletes Facebook cookies, and logs users out of Facebook upon installation. The next time a user navigates to Facebook, it loads in a new, blue-colored browser tab (the 'Container'). Users can log in and use Facebook normally within this container. If they click on a non-Facebook link or navigate to a non-Facebook website, these pages load outside the container.

Key Features

• Isolates Facebook activity to prevent tracking across the web.
• Automatically manages Facebook cookies and logins.
• Compatible with Firefox 57 and higher on Desktop.

Limitations

Embedded Facebook comments and Like buttons outside the Facebook Container will not work, preventing Facebook from associating activity on other websites with a user's Facebook identity. Additionally, websites that allow login using Facebook credentials may not work properly.

Additional Information

Mozilla does not collect data from the Facebook Container extension's use. The extension leverages Firefox's built-in Containers feature and works in conjunction with the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension for a better user experience.
