Actual behavior

Expected behavior

Back button is not grayed out and working when you auto switch to container in the same tab

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open some site using empty container
  2. Go to some site which always opens in container
  3. You can't go back to previous tab because back button is grayed out

If you open a site assigned to a container from "No container", the container tab in which the site opens isn't aware (and can't be aware) of the history of the "No container" tab you're coming from. This is expected because containers are isolated from each others.
