Save to Pocket toolbar button doesn't work when getpocket.com is containerized #824

The Save to Pocket toolbar button shows the login popup even though getpocket.com is logged in in a containerized tab.

Steps to reproduce:

Log out of pocket
Add getpocket.com to a container, make sure Always Open in This Container is selected
Try to add a site to pocket via the Save to Pocket toolbar button.
The login dialog pops up on the toolbar, click Log in
Login to pocket in a new containerized tab
Go back to the tab you had wanted to save to pocket
Click the Save to Pocket button, the same login dialog pops up even though you are logged in to pocket in a containerized tab

I'm using Firefox 55.0.3 64bit on Linux with Gnome 3.24.2.

This will be the same of Firefox accounts also, the only way to solve bugs like this are:

Treat URLs that are part of the browser UI as privledged and not able to be assigned ever
Work with these native UI pieces to work with containers, this likey would be a different solution for each part.

If you assign pocket to a container, this is going to be an issue.

What will be the problem with Firefox accounts?

Would it be feasible to exclude getpocket.com from being assigned (like about: pages)?

Just a question: if 'getpocket' is not containerized to work around this issue, does it mean that pocket cookies are saved in each container? Wouldn't it defeat the main purpose of containers?

I'm not quite sure if the issues are related, but for all intents and purposes, I'm mentioning two issues currently opened in the Pocket bugtracker that may relate to this issue:

I see that the most recent post here is 2022. Today is June 2024 -- The problem persists.

The only information I can add to the above it that i've noticed that "Save to Pocket" works in one or two profiles. Most profiles it fails.

Is there a mechanism to reinstall pocket and only pocket? As if it was and extension/add-on like it used to be in the old days . . .

I think if I can "reinstall" or "reinitialise" the pocket module, that might fix things. What do you think?
