Before submitting a bug report

• I updated to the latest version of Multi-Account Container and tested if I can reproduce the issue
• I searched for existing reports to see if it hasn't already been reported

Step to reproduce

1. Open: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/
2. Make the selection to always open this site in container xxxx
3. Close the tab, then reopen the adress.
4. It will NOT open in that container because most likely the extension doesn't run on these sites.

Actual behavior

It doesn't switch to the selected container.

Expected behavior

Able to force a container for these sites also.

Additional informations

I am logged into the site using the container i set, but because it doesn't auto open in that container i am forced to manually re-open the page(s) in said container.

Provide a copy of Troubleshooting Information page (optional)

@TriMoon Does it work with website included in the "Run on sites with restrictions" list in a regular window? I'm asking to narrow down if the problem is Private Mode or a combination of both features you're referring to.

@dannycolin
I was asking for options of both features, but they are not a combo that needs tobe enabled together 😉
I just found it very irritating that i can't set these sites to automatically open in selected containers...
I don't use private windows in my use case mentioned, but i thought i might as well ask for that option to be added in one go for others 😉

[dannycolin]

Gotcha. I removed the "Private Window" bit because we already have another bug report on file for it. Also, Private Mode support needs to be implemented in Firefox so there's nothing we can really do on the addon side.

Anyway, I'll keep this ticket open to track things about the Firefox restriction list. I still need to investigate if we need to change something in Firefox directly or if we can support it directly from the addon.
