This is the expected behavior. To solve this issue, you have two choices:

a) tick the "Remember my decision" box so it's permanently assigned to a container b) remove the assignment for this website.

that might be true for normal tabs. It is strange for pinned tabs though. The tab that asks you which container you want is also not pinned anymore. so not really expected.

Why is it strange. Pinned tabs aren't tied up to the container mechanism and exist on their own. They exist primarily to avoid a tab to be closed.

The tab that asks you which container you want is also not pinned anymore.

If your pinned tabs aren't pinned anymore when you reopen your browser, this is most likely a bug with Firefox itself. You can report it on bugzilla.mozilla.org.

This looks like a subset of #1155.

Couldn't it be implemented for the case of pinned tabs without the platform support, because pinned tabs are only opened through the user's explicit actions instead of through e.g. <a target="_blank"> and there are currently no way to directly open a new tab as a pinned Container tab AFAICT, so you can deduce that a pinned Container tab has gone through a Multi-Account Containers Confirm Navigation prompt from a previous session? (I admit the premise is quite fragile though.)

The tab that asks you which container you want is also not pinned anymore.

If your pinned tabs aren't pinned anymore when you reopen your browser, this is most likely a bug with Firefox itself.

I guess that is due to the behavior of #1835 (open a new tab and remove the existing one) instead of a but with Firefox.
