Multi-Account Containers for Android

[ArjunIsDark]

The Multi-Account Containers extension is a very useful addon as it prevents websites from accessing all your browsing data by limiting it inside containers. I love this so much as it enhances the privacy. For example, I keep all meta related websites like facebook, instagram in a seperate container. So the only data they can access is between their own websites and not the rest of my browsing habits.

TLDR: Please bring this extension for Android!

We really need this feature hope that they'll add it

As containers have recently been enabled by default in desktop Firefox (TBH I hadn't realised they WEREN'T enabled by default), it feels like even more of a feature gap for the Android version not to have them.

It looks like they'll add it, I hope so

@Jon Have there been any updates on this? 

[ArjunIsDark]

I posted this 4 years ago, quite surprised they haven't taken any steps yet, seems very ignorant on their part, unless there are technical limitations preventing it to be added in the Android version.

That's one of the only features which could let you gain more users, developers. Everyone have AI and no-one will change their browser just because of VPN or something, but if you add containers people will start using you

Keeping this thread alive 

It has been 4 years

Please add support for multi-account containers on Android. This is an essential feature that should be built directly into the browser rather than being provided through an external extension.

I rely on Firefox on my PC, and if multi-account containers were available on Android as well, Firefox would become my default browser across all my devices.

Thank you!

Container tabs for android

I am a heavy user of the Multi-Account Containers extension on desktop, and it is by far one of the best features Firefox has to offer. However, the lack of Container support on Firefox for Android feels like a major gap in the ecosystem.

Browsing on mobile without isolated container tabs forces users to break their privacy workflow or avoid syncing altogether to prevent cross-site tracking and cookie leakage across devices.

Bringing Container tabs (or bringing the Multi-Account Containers extension natively) to Firefox for Android is one of the most highly requested features by the community. It would truly make Firefox unbeatable on mobile.

That would make firefox UNBEATABLE in android, chromium browsers literally can't do it, firefox is the ONLY browser who has ability to do that (For now. Mozilla devs should be fast and do this until brave does it first and takes all of firefox's privacy-conscious users cuz they did it in pc already)

@Jon any updates at least?
