### Containers
Enable containers if you want to login to the same site under different accounts. For example, keeping work and personal browsing separate.
Enable the [containers](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers) feature if you want to login to the same site under different accounts.
You may also want to install [Multi-Account Containers](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/) for extra functionality.
:bulb: Because of improvements to Firefox, there's no longer a privacy advantage in using containers; but if you still find it useful, feel free to enable them.
```javascript
// PREF: enable Container tabs
user_pref("privacy.userContext.enabled", true);
// PREF: set behavior on "+ Tab" button to display container menu on left click [FF74+]
// [NOTE] The menu is always shown on long press and right click.
// [SETTING] General>Tabs>Enable Container Tabs>Settings>Select a container for each new tab
user_pref("privacy.userContext.newTabContainerOnLeftClick.enabled", true);
