Facebook Container is an essential Firefox extension for anyone who uses Facebook but wants to limit its tracking powers. It isolates Facebook in its own browser container, preventing it from following you across other websites. This helps protect your privacy without forcing you to give up using the platform.
Pros:
✅ Effective tracking isolation: Prevents Facebook from tracking your activity outside its own site.
✅ Seamless integration: Works automatically in the background with no complex setup required.
✅ Boosts privacy: Keeps your personal data from leaking to Facebook when visiting external sites.
✅ Simple and lightweight: No noticeable impact on Firefox performance.
✅ Made by Mozilla: Developed by Firefox itself, ensuring reliability and trustworthiness.
Cons:
❌ Facebook-only isolation: It doesn’t block tracking from other services (you’ll need extra tools for that).
❌ Limited functionality on multi-account setups: If you use multiple Facebook accounts, switching between them can be clunky.
💡 Overall, Facebook Container is a fantastic privacy tool for Firefox users who want to enjoy Facebook without being stalked across the web. It’s easy to use, highly effective, and a must-have for privacy-conscious users. Highly recommended!

- Rated 4 out of 5by grace46202, 25 days agoIf the container is accidentally deleted it can glitch out and does not re-create it by itself, requiring you to manually re-create a container to fix it. Otherwise this works great!
- Rated 5 out of 5by ninefoldrin, a month agoReally love this add-on. I appreciate anything keeping Facebook disconnected from myself.
As I don't know how else to potentially report a bug or anything like that, I'm also using this review to inform that there appears to be an issue with Etsy. When attempting to log into Etsy (with email login) it says there is an error until I try with Etsy allowed in Facebook Container. I'm not sure if this is something fixable or if Facebook has found a way to break Facebook Container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19239252, 2 months agoLove the idea. Only gave 4 of 5 stars because of instead of just opening a new tab, it closes my original tab. SUPER ANNOYING to loose my search because I clicked on a FB or IG link. Fix this to just open a new tab automatically and i'll rate to 5 stars.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Filter Your Water!, 2 months agoI don't even really know if it works but I find it really cool that firefox themselves made this extension because fuck Facebook and all other large and megacap companies led by psychopaths.
- Rated 1 out of 5by trav1295, 2 months agoIt's been at least 2 months, and no update from Mozilla on the new Threads url. Mozilla, please add "threads.com" to the site list, otherwise the page will never load, and some people may not know this extension is causing it.
How to add manually (until Mozilla updates/if they ever update it):
1. Go to threads.com
2. Click "Facebook container" under the Add-on button (or toolbar if you placed it there)
3. Click "Allow site in Facebook container"
4. Threads will load - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19114790, 2 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by shino1, 3 months agoThis extension WILL completely break Threads website. I'm assuming it blocks access to some necessary Instagram stuff.
