This is a quick tutorial to explain how to use different accounts of same service in different tabs of Firefox. To do this I will use a handy Firefox addon, Temporary Containers. With the help of Temporary Containers addon, the tabs of Firefox will use different containers to save the sign in information of the user. And the user will be able to use different accounts of same service or website in Firefox easily. And not only this, this addon also allows you to open a link from a webpage in a temporary container whenever you want.
If you have multiple accounts of Facebook, Twitter, or any other service, then you know this fact that you can only use a single account in a browser at once. Though, you can open a separate account in Incognito mode, but that is not a good solution. In that case, the Temporary Containers addon comes in handy. You can easily open other accounts of the same website or service in different tabs of Firefox. You will not have to use multiple browsers to do this. Apart from this, if you are a Chrome user, then you can use it there too, see here how.

And you can sign in with another account there.
