It breaks some websites according to Mozilla, so Firefox does not block them by default. Firefox's term for this is third-party cookies, and you can change your Firefox settings to block them (without using containers) - see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-third-party-cookies https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-third-party-coo...
edit: the default settings block "cross-site tracking cookies" which is presumably different from "3rd party cookies", but I'm not exactly sure how.
