Total Security Protection allows Firefox to keep cookies in separate jars
Firefox 89 also debuted with redesigned experience and cleaner interface
Mozilla has extended its protection against cross-site tracking for all Firefox users accessing the Web through Private Browsing windows. The change comes through a security feature called Total Cookie Protection that is enabled by default on Firefox 89 — the latest version. Mozilla claimed that its Total Cookie Protection is based on a principle that restricts the Firefox browser from sharing Web cookies between websites and keeps them separately in different “cookie jars” to help protect user identity to some extent.
