Connection timeout with other add-on #99

Open sojusnik opened 4 years ago

sojusnik commented 4 years ago

I plan to use the Kanbanly add-on (to manage my Google Tasks as a Kanban), but can't get through the authentification process, because Containerise automatically opens the Google authentification window in my configured Google container. It seems that Kanbanly can't access this Google container and therefore gives me a connection timeout.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Unfortunately, this is a problem with Firefox Multi-Account Containers too and they don't have a solution either. Temporary Containers provides an API, but every extension would have to be aware of it and use it.

Firefox would need to provide a method of protecting web-extension tabs from other web-extensions, but good luck with that. Besides that, creating an API like Temporary Containers and asking other extension devs to use it, or adding shortcut to turn off containerise, I don't know what can be done.
