You can kind of do this with incognito mode.
It would be a bit frustrating because once you close the tabs everything is lost. However I am not sure how different browsers "incognito mode" handle multiple tabs.
I do like your idea though.
- mintplant 9y agoFirefox has an experimental (opt-in) feature called "Containers" for this: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/containers https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/containers You can create a container for each compartmentalized context (work, social media, whatever) and then create tabs assigned to diffent containers. They're visually distinguished as to which tab is "in" which container, but otherwise you can manipulate and mingle them freely with the rest of your tabs. Each container's persistent state is isolated from both the other containers and your default browsing context.
- cstrat 9y agooh wow that is awesome. I've not used firefox in years but something like that could be reason enough to give it another try.
- thephyber 9y agoAs a UI dev working in security, I can tell you that other security devs largely don't know what Incognito mode is or how the cookies are sandboxed inside/outside of Incognito mode. Some think cookies are segregated in each Incognito tab/window. Some don't know that the Incognito cookiejar is reused if you open another Incognito tab/window without first closing all other Incognito windows+tabs. This applies to LocalStorage as well.
