@dannycolin:mozilla.orgDanny ColinRight. Facebook container uses the same mechanism and is only an addon preconfigured.23:30:35

hm what if I made a separate firefox profile and used a facebook container there and a facebook container in my normal profile
You can also do this. It's more clicks tho so it depends what you prefer.

also, is there a roadmap for when containers will be added to android? can't seem to use them on there and not sure if I set it up wrong but the extension just isn't there
AFAIK, there's nothing on the roadmap for containers on Android. If it changes, we'll update the status of https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/multi-account-containers-for-android/idi-p/5564

@hwine:mozilla.orghwine [he/him]Hi everyone! Not sure this is the right place... I'm working for Meta on the new meta.ai website. We got a lot of reports on our side that the site shows a blank page in Firefox. I tried reaching out to contributors and containers@mozilla.com without success. Is there anyone that can merge the PR to add the meta.ai domain in contain facebook repo https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/pull/963 ? The domain was also added in disconnectme repo (https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/commit/54618bd60a78d21118810533856be80f933b9f27) but wasn't fast tracked in Firefox (which it should based on https://github.com/mozilla-services/shavar-prod-lists)14:10:22
@hwine:mozilla.orghwine [he/him] Well, that ^ didn't work like I hoped -- that's this message from #github-admin:mozilla.org 14:12:24
@hwine:mozilla.orghwine [he/him] Danny Colin: Also note that the CONTRIBUTING.md references the old irc channel, and needs updating 14:14:36
@dannycolin:mozilla.orgDanny Colin hwine [he/him]: I don't really work on contain-facebook but I relayed your message internally 😉 14:17:12

@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-userUsing firefox in safe mode, and printables.com still refuses to load02:45:54
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-userany ideas as to why?02:45:58
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-userit works fine in private windows02:46:20
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-useri also manually completely disabled all extensions02:47:37
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-userresetting firefox seemed to fix it11:32:31
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-userI had already cleared my cache and cookies for Printables but /shrug11:32:50
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-user¯⧵_(ツ)_/¯ ah11:32:57
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-useroh wait11:33:02

@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-user When I open an email attachment to be downloaded in GMail, Firefox always asks me if I want to open it in a container tab. This is extremely annoying. Is there a way to force specific tabs opened from a container tab to open without that prompt occurring? 21:42:08
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-userThis is fine for other websites, but it is particularly annoying for email21:42:21
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-user also, upon tab closing and reopening, is there any way to make firefox remember what the original container was and skip the prompt? it always asks me "would you like to open this tab in your current container or in the assigned container?" (this is because i have an assigned container for an email that I check the most, so I usually just manually open a different email in a different container 21:51:10
@the-only-user:beeper.comthe-only-useri guess what I want is much more granular control over the tabs21:51:18
@dannycolin:mozilla.orgDanny Colin

If you use the same domain name (e.g. gmail.com) in two different containers, there are two possible scenarios:

  1. Assign gmail.com to container A without ticking the "remember my choice in the prompt" and click on one of the two button depending on what you want (That's your current situation).
  2. Don't assign gmail.com to a container and manually open a new container tab in A or B, then visit gmail.com
23:15:16
@dannycolin:mozilla.orgDanny ColinYou probably want #2 if you want to avoid the prompt. 23:17:18

@mops:mozilla.orgmopsHere with another round of lost containers. This is a multi device setup using firefox sync. On the affected mac I use Firefox stable and nightly. Currently both show the default containers. On another mac I still see all my custom containers as expected. I don't think the containers are lost, but I don't know how to get them back. Well, and I just lost them on the other mac as well, where Firefox got updated to version 126. I tried disabling and re-enabling sync and now ended up with the 4 default containers. Should I file an issue and if yes, how can I provide useful information so that this can be prevented in the future?07:49:30

In add-on preferences when I disable Enable synchronization and re-enable suddenly my custom containers are back. That is great and I am happy I can continue work. But if it could be fixed to not lose custom containers in the first place, that would be very much appreciated. This may cause frustration and be a deal-braker for users, if they don't find, how to recover.
