@mattias @isagalaev Right. But it is a different browser for the purpose of using two different logins on the same site. I have installed the containers plug-in on Firefox but same not sure I understand how to use it

@plwt @panamared27401 @mattias +1 to this. I use it whenever I'm forced to open Facebook: just right-click on the [+] button for a new tab and select a container for temporary stuff. Then when it's closed, I'm confident I don't have anything remaining from the site in my browser.

Not only can you use the Multi-Account Containers extension, you can also use Firefox's own profiles feature (which is much older). You can launch new Firefox instances with a specific profile via shortcut / command.

@panamared27401 @mattias @isagalaev I use Firefox profiles: one for my personal use and one for my work.

@Cyb3rDad @mattias @isagalaev Right; that is why I installed that new extension. Now I need to read the instructions on how to use it. 👍

It's easy:
Just create a new container and give it a name
(e.g. "Mastodon 1").
Do the same for the number of accounts you want to login
(e.g. "Mastodon 2").
Afterwards, open a New Tab in container "Mastodon 1".
Login with "Account 1".
Open a New Tab in container "Mastodon 2".
Login with "Account 2.

They'll be completely separated.

It's easy, really - give it a try :)
