Reddit Account Switcher Workaround (Firefox)

Skip to 3rd paragraph if you just want the solution.

Hey people of reddit, I just wanted to share this since I was wondering how to switch between accounts on desktop like you can on the mobile app, but there is no built in feature.

So I did a little research and the only answers I found were people saying to use different browsers, incognito tabs, or separate browser profiles, but all of those are kind of a hassle just to switch between two accounts.

So I found a workaround! If you use Firefox, there's an official extension made by Mozilla called "Multi-Account Containers". Basically what it does is when you right-click any link or you can also right-click the (+) icon to open a new tab, you get the option to open it inside a container, and that container acts as its own separate browser with its own cookies and login sessions. So you just create a container for each account, log into Reddit inside it, and that's it. Whenever you want to use a specific account just open Reddit in that account's container and you're good to go.

Note: this is a Firefox only solution, not sure if Chrome or other browsers have something similar.

Hope this helps someone!
