How to disable Containers in Firefox

Recently, a new Containers feature was introduced in the Mozilla Firefox browser. If you found no use for this feature, you can easily disable it. Here is how to do that.

To disable Containers in Firefox, there is an about:config option that you can use.

  1. Open a new tab and enter the following text in the address bar:
    about:config

    Confirm that you will be careful if a warning message appears for you.Firefox 50 accept about config

  2. Enter the following text in the filter box:
    privacy.userContext.enabledFirefox privacy.userContext.enabled
  3. The option privacy.userContext.enabled will appear in the list. Set it to false: Firefox containers disabled
  4. Restart the Firefox browser.

This will disable the Containers feature in Firefox. If you change your mind, you can set privacy.userContext.enabled back to true to restore Containers. That's it.
