Maintainer activity

2 people did triage or write work on this repository in the last 12 months.

Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 11, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits.

How this project is maintained

Roughly one issue in three opened in the past year never receives a reply. 97% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. Work labelled "Component: Panel" is answered fastest, typically in about 13 hours, while "Component: Sync" waits about 11 days. 69% of tracked open issues have had no activity in three months, so the open count overstates what is actively being worked. Only 26% of issues opened in the past year have been closed.

Detailed Description

Firefox Multi-Account Containers is a Firefox browser extension that isolates your browsing into color-coded containers with separate cookie storage.

The extension solves the problem of cookie tracking across websites by compartmentalizing your browsing activity. Each container maintains its own set of cookies, allowing you to log into the same website with different accounts simultaneously or prevent trackers from following you across sites. The approach works by assigning tabs to containers and enforcing cookie isolation at the browser level, so websites cannot access cookies from other containers even when you visit them from different tabs.

The tool suits anyone who needs to maintain multiple online identities or accounts on the same websites, such as managing personal and work email accounts, testing websites with different user roles, or simply reducing cross-site tracking. It is particularly valuable for privacy-conscious users who want to limit how much information trackers can gather about their browsing habits. The extension integrates directly into Firefox's tab interface, making it straightforward to assign tabs to containers without requiring technical configuration.

The project maintains active development with regular updates addressing user-reported issues and Firefox compatibility. The codebase shows consistent attention to bug fixes and feature refinements based on user feedback. Development activity demonstrates responsiveness to the extension ecosystem's evolution and ongoing maintenance of the extension's core functionality.
