Your privacy is the most important thing in the world, especially when browsing the Internet, so you need to make sure the platforms and websites you visit can be trusted. All of us though Facebook could be trusted, but it proved otherwise, so now you can prevent it from tracking you on the Web if you’re using Firefox. Mozilla was quick to create an add-on for its open-source and cross-platform Firefox web browser that keeps Facebook in some sort of container preventing it from spying on you everywhere on the Internet. The add-on is called Facebook Container and promises to put you in control while isolating your Web activity from Facebook.
