Limiting extensions by container works in MacOS, but not Windows 10 #1937

Actual Behavior

I've configured my Honey extension to only work in the Shopping container. I've done this by

When I try to use the Honey extension in Windows 10, the extension prompts me to login. When I login, I'm taken to a joinhoney.com page in the Shopping container, where I get a notification: You're already logged in. But when it takes me back to the site where I'm trying to use the extension (like eBay) I get the first notification again: login to Honey.

Expected behavior

After logging into Honey (either in its webpage or in the extension) the extension should work as normal: filling in discount codes on websites.

What's strange is that the Honey extension is working normal in MacOS, even though I've done exactly the same steps on my Mac: I've set the Honey domain and the extension UUID to run only in the Shopping container. And it works!

I thought this might be related to my VPN, as Honey often has difficulties logging in when my VPN is active. But I disabled the VPN on my Window's machine and the problem persists. I even turned the VPN on on my Mac, and the Honey extension still works there.

My Mac setup: Multi-Account Containers Version 7.1.0 MacOS 10.15.7 Firefox version 83 Honey version 12.4.5 - enabled

My Windows setup: Multi-Account Containers Version 7.1.0 Windows 10 Home v. 1909 x64 Firefox version 84.0.1 Honey version 12.4.5 - enabled.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Navigate to a website in my Shopping container (or any container) on my Windows machine
  2. Try to use the Honey extension. Get prompted to login. Click the login link.
  3. Get taken to joinhoney.com (in the Shopping container) and see that I'm already logged in.
  4. Get taken back to the original website and try to use Honey extension. Told I'm not logged in.
