So for instance, if you have Google Shopping open in one tab, Gmail in another, and Google News in a third, Google will know you have all three pages open and connect their cookie trails. However, Total Cookie Protection does not isolate cookies from different open tabs under the same domain. Total Cookie Protection isolates cookies from each website you visit, so Firefox users now receive comprehensive cookie suppression wherever they go on the web. Total Cookie Protection + container extensions = enhanced anti-tracking

Container extensions offer additional benefits even beyond the sweeping new privacy enhancements introduced with Firefox Total Cookie Protection. When we recently announced the full public roll-out of Firefox Total Cookie Protection - a new default browser feature that automatically confines cookies to the websites that created them, thus eliminating the most common method that sites use to track you around the web - it raised a question: Do container extensions like Mozilla’s Facebook Container and Multi-Account Containers still serve a purpose, since they similarly perform anti-tracking functions by suppressing cookie trails?
