Firefox containers[1] are new, but you could always do this with Firefox profiles. If you're on Linux or Mac, open a terminal and type:

    firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote &
(I alias it to `ff`.)

Create different profiles[2] for each separate browser you need, and then make shortcuts to launch them.[3] Each Firefox profile will work like a completely separate browser.

Or just "-P" if you want to be concise :)
