Multi-account-containers: twitter won't load in container

Created on 17 Feb 2020  路  10Comments  路  Source: mozilla/multi-account-containers

I have added a "Social Media" container. I've added Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter. All work correctly except Twitter. I add it to the Social Media container. Close the tab or browser, reload twitter and it is not opened in the container.

The "Always open in Social Media" checkbox is NOT there. It says "Always open in Default". However, if I edit the container twitter.com IS listed in the sites.

Also getting this issue.

Firefox 73.0.1
Extension Version: 6.2.1
OS: macOS 10.15.3

I was driving myself crazy thinking it was an issue only with me. Ugh. Cleared cookies, reinstalled Containers, cleared all containers, disabled Firefox sync, etc. Latest Firefox [73.0.1 (64-bit)] and Containers extension.

@absane are you saying this fixed the issue or that you tried all of those things to no avail? I just saw this on a Mac. Are you on Mac as well? @ak1dd are you on a Mac?

We will need Steps to Reproduce, because I currently can't reproduce.

@kendallcorner I did not fix this issue, I was just throwing in some comments that I'm also facing this problem.

Firefox 73.0.1 (64-bit)
Extension Version 6.2.2
Windows 10 with the latest updates.

If I open a new tab that isn't assigned to a container, type "twitter.com', and hit enter, then Twitter.com opens in the default (non-containerized) tab. However, if I open any new tab that is a container, type "twitter.com", and hit enter, then Twitter.com opens in my assigned container (the one that I set to always open when I go to Twitter.com).

Here you see a default tab, I went to twitter.com, and it opened in that default tab. The box "Always open" is not checked (even though it should be):

Here, I opened any container tab (doesn't matter). Then, I typed in "twitter.com", hit enter, and the container tab changed to my Social Media container. The box "Always open" is checked because Twitter.com should always open in the Social Media tab, but it doesn't when I am in a default tab:

Same issue; on macOS, FF 73.0.1.

Same symptoms:

  • specifically the URL https://twitter.com (for me, https://twitter.com/home doesn't demonstrate the same behaviour, by the way! i have to be attempting this while the "default" container is logged out of twitter to reproduce.)
  • only applies if attempting to load that URL in the "default" container; if I start out in another container, I properly get the "Wait, you've configured this to open in a different container! Do you want to continue in this one?" error we're all expecting

I'm having the same issue. The description by @ELLIOTTCABLE is identical to what I'm seeing with https://twitter.com vs https://twitter.com/home. Other sites I have associated with other containers work fine.

macos 10.14.3
FF 73.0.1
multi-account-containers 6.2.3

Weird that I am the only one on WIndows 10 with this issue.

I am on Windows 10 Enterprise and have the same issue. Neither twitter.com nor twitter.com/home work for me.
FF 73.0.1
MAC: 6.2.3

Hello,

I've got the same issue With MacOS 10.13.6 Firefox 73.0.1 and multi-account-container 6.2.3.

Same symptoms described by @ELLIOTTCABLE

Thank you

Update (12-03-2020) : I don't have this issue anymore with Firefox 74 (updated today)
