Firefox Multi-Account Containers feature offers an easy way to separate cookies (login sessions). It was first mentioned in [blog.mozilla.org](https://blog.mozilla.org/tanvi/2016/06/16/contextual-identities-on-the-web/) in June 2016. By tracing the `privacy.userContext.enabled` and `privacy.userContext.ui` configs in previous Firefox versions, we can see the groundwork was laid in Firefox 44, albeit with limited functionality and there was no UI. UI was later landed in Firefox 50. Firefox Multi-Account Containers feature offers an easy way to separate cookies (login sessions).

As of writing (Firefox 68), the feature is still disabled by default, but we can easily enable it. Simply go to `about:config`, Anyway I digressed.
