Does Firefox containers hide your IP, device info and location?

you can use firefox containers with container proxy to have different ips on each container. that said i run wireguard on my router itself so all the devices are behind vpn.

as for location, changing ip also changes your geolocation. there is also the location reported by your browser which you can change in about:config but this isn’t provided unless you give permission to the site asking it.

as for device info, each container is like having a separate firefox install. all the cookies are separated and isolated.
