Firefox Browser Multi-opening Guide: Three Detailed and Practical Tutorials

In the daily operation of cross-border e-commerce, efficiency and accuracy are crucial when managing multiple e-commerce platform accounts, processing orders, customer service, and social media promotion. As an open source and powerful browser, Firefox's multi-opening function provides great convenience for e-commerce sellers. This article will introduce you to the multi-opening skills of Firefox in detail, helping you to efficiently manage multiple accounts through Firefox and improve work efficiency!

I. Enable Incognito Mode in Firefox

(1) Turn on Incognito mode

Open Firefox and click the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the upper right corner.

Select "New Private Window." Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows) or Command + Shift + P (Mac) to quickly start Incognito mode.

(2) Open multiple invisible windows

In Firefox, you can open multiple Incognito windows at the same time. Each Incognito window is independent of other windows and does not share history, cookies and other data, so you can log in to multiple cross-border e-commerce platforms or accounts in different windows. After you finish browsing, you can close the Incognito window and the browser will automatically delete all browsing data (including Cookies, cache, history, etc.)

• Disadvantages: You need to log in again every time, browsing history and bookmarks cannot be saved, data cannot be shared, some extensions may not be available, and downloaded files and web page preferences cannot be saved. Therefore, although the incognito mode helps to protect privacy, for cross-border e-commerce sellers who frequently operate and manage multiple accounts, they may need to flexibly use other methods

II. Use proxy management extension + proxy IP

The editor strongly recommends this method, which not only allows you to easily switch between different agents, but also protects your personal information and account security. It is more suitable for those who are doing cross-border online business~

1. Install and set up the FoxyProxy plugin

(1) Open the Firefox browser, click "Settings" - click "Extensions" - search for "FoxyProxy"

(2) Select Standard Edition, click “Add to Firefox”, and then click “Add” to confirm the installation.

2. After adding, configure the proxy address

To achieve true IP isolation, you need to use a proxy IP service. You can use IPFoxy, which provides IP addresses around the world and a variety of protocols to basically meet your cross-border online business needs.

(1) Go to the IPFoxy official website and purchase the proxy IP you need. You can choose residential IP, data center IP or static IP as the proxy type to avoid the platform detecting abnormalities. After purchasing the proxy you need, copy the proxy information.

(2) Then, return to Firefox, click the FoxyProxy icon in the upper right corner of the browser, and select "Options" to enter the settings interface.

(3) Setting up a proxy server

In Proxies, select the "http" type and enter the proxy server address, port number, username, and password you just copied. After filling in the form as shown below, click Save at the bottom

(4) Switching agents

After setting up the proxy server, you can switch to different proxy modes you need by clicking the FoxyProxy icon, and then you can carry out your multi-opening tasks!

III. Fingerprint Browser

Fingerprint Browser creates multiple independent browser environments and simulates different fingerprint information, thereby effectively reducing security risks and ensuring account security. It meets the security and management requirements of multiple operations. Each independent browser environment can be configured with an independent IP address, which can also be obtained directly from IPFoxy mentioned above. In addition, Fingerprint Browser also supports seamless integration with some proxy services without additional configuration, simplifying the operation process.

Mastering these multi-opening skills will make your cross-border operations more efficient and flexible, and can effectively help you gain an advantage in the fierce market competition. I hope the above content is helpful to you, thank you for watching!
