		skeletonjelly on Jan 26, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Firefox 85 cracks down on supercookies Can you be tracked within the private browsing mode though? For instance in Chrome private tabs I know if you log in to something then open a new tab, that tab retains the cookies from the private session until you close all private tabs. Is this the same with Firefox? I'm hesitant to install yet another extension but I'm wondering if this one mentioned elsewhere in this thread will fix it, if it is the case with firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...

No, in Firefox I've seen each private window is a separate unrelated container.

Looks like I was wrong. All private windows and tabs belong to the same temporary container sharing cookies. Temporary Containers remedy this.
