v3.1.0 breaks multi-account containers altogether

[dr4Ke]

Using the latest firefox, a completely new profile with "Containerise" and "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" (FMAC below) add-ons only, with no rule in "Containerise".

I'm facing two cumulative behaviors:

• Any site pinned to a specific container with FMAC is opened in a new "no container" tab by "Containerise" and FMAC asks me to open it in the right container again.
• If I tell FMAC to remember my choice about this site (open in Personal container), blank tabs keep opening, then FMAC reopens it in the Personal container, then Containerise opens it in a new no container tab, etc.

It keeps going until I disable one of the two add-ons.

I think it is the same cause than for #70, #71 and #72. I opened this new issue because I think it gives an easily reproducible case.

To reproduce:

• new firefox profile
• install FMAC add-on
• open github.com in a new Personal container tab
• tick "always open in Personal" in FMAC menu
• install Containerise add-on
• open github.com in a new tab
• select "Open in Personal Container" when asked by FMAC
• see a new Personal container tab appear with "github.com/" title but remaining blank
• see a new "no container" tab open and FMAC asking again if you want to open it in Personal

If you want to go wild, tick "Remember my decision for this site".

Could this be causing the issue here? https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/issues/469

I've rolled back Containerise to 3.0.1 and the issue no longer presents.

I see this also for amazon container open inifinte tabs in loop ... also search in in duckduckgo open two tabs from search engines where the first is a standard tabg and the second is the a personal tab (as I had configured this duckduckgo) .... only the google container works flawless

[bitstreamout]

The only workaround is to add some amazon domains to avoid those loops ... seems that "Containerise" fights against "Amazon Container" ... I guess that this also is the cause for the loop with "Facebook Container" and similar addons ... and as I had already some google domains configured in "Containerise" the fight with "Google Container" does not happen (as long as I do not access an unkown google domain)

Rolling back to a previous version for the moment seems like the easiest workaround

edit: With the link to previous versions https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/containerise/versions/

When rolling back to previous versions, remember to disable automatic updates for this addon.

Most probably.

The issue is that Containerise systematically opens undefined sites in a "No container" tab, while any other add-on tries to open it in a specific container. The most spectacular effect is with add-ons that automatically do so.

Actually, the comment in #70 is irrelevant here. The change caused problems for me with the following scenarios:

• Using two containers (with no domains mapped) for work and private stuff on Google Drive.
• Using a service that redirects to another domain for login (the another domain cannot be mapped to the service container because it is shared between various services and I am using different accounts with them).

So no interaction with other extensions was involved.

The change mentioned in the linked comment is about no longer allowing any url to load in any container that isn't assigned with containerise - also causing your issues.

All the changes of v3.1.0 are reverted in v3.2.0

[Drizzt321]

@kintesh I've got v3.2.0 installed and it's opening up infinite new tabs. Although if I close the newest one to open it stops the opening and I can close them all, or if I close the window.

@Drizzt321 Could you open a new bug for that and describe what you're doing? I can't observe this behavior here
