Cookie-autodelete: Cookies in containers not deleted

[gwarser]

Describe the Bug/Feature

If we add domain to whitelist in Work container, cookies will not be deleted in Banking container.

Steps for anyone to reproduce the bug

• create clean Firefox profile
• install CAD
• configure CAD to support Firefox Container Tabs
• add *.mozilla.org to Whitelist in Work container (firefox-container-2)
• enable Auto-clean
• close two mozilla.org tabs you should have in clean profile on first start
• cookies will be deleted (because this is "default" container)
• create new Banking container (firefox-container-3)
• open mozilla.org
• close mozilla.org tab
• cookies will not be deleted

Your settings

Delay is set to 0.1 to speed things up. No difference with 0 or 1.

{"state":"{\"lists\":{\"default\":[],\"firefox-container-2\":[{\"expression\":\"*.mozilla.org\",\"storeId\":\"firefox-container-2\",\"listType\":\"WHITE\",\"id\":\"H1ugOn7pb\",\"cookieNames\":[]}]},\"cookieDeletedCounterTotal\":9,\"cookieDeletedCounterSession\":9,\"settings\":{\"activeMode\":{\"name\":\"activeMode\",\"value\":true,\"id\":\"B1AQOhQTb\"},\"delayBeforeClean\":{\"name\":\"delayBeforeClean\",\"value\":\"0.1\",\"id\":\"SJxfmu2Qpb\"},\"statLogging\":{\"name\":\"statLogging\",\"value\":true,\"id\":3},\"showNumOfCookiesInIcon\":{\"name\":\"showNumOfCookiesInIcon\",\"value\":true,\"id\":4},\"showNotificationAfterCleanup\":{\"name\":\"showNotificationAfterCleanup\",\"value\":true,\"id\":5},\"cleanCookiesFromOpenTabsOnStartup\":{\"name\":\"cleanCookiesFromOpenTabsOnStartup\",\"value\":false,\"id\":6},\"contextualIdentities\":{\"id\":\"rJL1_3XaZ\",\"name\":\"contextualIdentities\",\"value\":true}},\"cache\":{\"browserDetect\":\"Firefox\",\"default\":\"Default\",\"firefox-default\":\"Default\",\"firefox-private\":\"Private\",\"firefox-container-1\":\"Personal\",\"firefox-container-2\":\"Work\",\"firefox-container-3\":\"Banking\",\"firefox-container-4\":\"Shopping\"}}"}

I think this not work, because settings are not initialized. You probably skip deleting when iterating over containers if settings for container is nonexistent. I have red icon only in Default and Work container - Dafault may be here all the time, and Work is "touched" when I created first entry in whitelist.

I tested this again, by adding empty rule to all lists and then removing it (just click +Whitelist on every container and then Delete) and this seems to fix this problem for me. I will test this again in clean profile and confirm.
Edit:
Seems to be the case.

Cookies in containers are not deleted. Neither on close or startup. For me the add-on has no effect at all on the cookies of a container.

• Cookie AutoDelete 2.0.1
• Multi-Account Containers 4.0.3
• Firefox 56.0.1 / Linux

I tried the +Whitelist workaround without success.

Just to be sure - you have "Auto-clean" enabled?

[hcbraun]

• Enable Automatic Cleaning? Delay Before Cleaning:Minute(s)?
• Log Total Number Of Cookies Deleted?
• Show Number of Cookies for that Domain?
• Show Notification After Cookie Cleanup?
• Clean Cookies from Open Tabs on Startup?
• Enable Support for Firefox's Container Tabs?

All the options are enabled. Cleaning set to 1 minute.

Its easy to reproduce for me:

• Open new tab
• Browse to a new site with cookies
• Close tab
• Press yellow add-on button "Clean"

With a default tab i get the pop "Cookies were deleted" notification. Doing the same with a container tab shows no notification and the site cookies show up under Preferences / Privacy&Security / Show Cookies

Firefox cookie settings:

• Accept cookies from websites: On
• Accept third-party cookies: Never
• Keep until: they expire
• Clear history when Firefox closes: On
  -- Browsing & Download History: Off
  -- Cookies: Off
  -- Active Logins: On
  -- Cache: On
  -- Form & Search History: Off

When you type privacy.userContext in about:config page, are these filtered settings set to true?

On my Firefox 56, Containers are not enabled by default. Even enabling them in CAD not work. I must enable them manually from about:config. After that, I must add and remove any rule to all containers to initialize settings, then deleting works. One issue - names of containers are wrong (undefined), but this fixes itself after restart.

[hcbraun]

It is set to true:
privacy.userContext.enabled;true

I just installed the add-on and did not edit anything in about:config for containers:
