BUG: Open in New Container Tab, Select No Container does not work. New tab opens in same container

[castlefox]

I have a tab open in a container, I selected "Open in New Container Tab" and then choose "No Container"
That does not work correctly. The New tab that opened is the same container I started with.

-->

• Multi-Account Containers Version: 8.0.7
• Operating System + Version: Windows 10.
• Firefox Version: 100.0
• Other installed Add-ons + Version + Enabled/Disabled-Status:
• Currently using the following add-ons:
• Bitwarden Version 1.58.0
• NoScropt version 11.4.5
• Tree Style Tab Version 3.8.23
• uBlock Origin Version 1.42.4

Actual behavior

I have a tab open in a container, I selected "Open in New Container Tab" and then choose "No Container"
That does not work correctly. The New tab that opened is the same container I started with.

Expected behavior

I expect the new tab to open the website that the container tab is at to open in a Non Container tab.

I cannot figure out why/when this bug starts / stops happening.

Bug continues to happen when I deactivate all Add-ons except for the Multi-Account Containers.

Could you check that the tab's container you initially open the page has not domain of the page included to "Always Open in" site list for this container. If it is included then it means that when you try to open in No Container then it creates tab and after that immediately switch to the dedicated container again.

Where do I find the list of domains that are included "Always Open in" site list?

Click MAC button in the Firefox toolbar, click Manage Containers at the bottom of panel, click a target container, click Manage Sites List... (blue colored and but not obvious that it is clickable).

Ahhhh. I think you might have cracked the case for me. I need to do more testing to see if I run into the issue again.

If that is the case, There should be better UI. Maybe a dialog box or something telling you after you select a different container and the tab opens in the same container "Hey! You wanted me to open this tab in a different container, but in the settings for this add-on, you told me to always open this domain in the XYZ container"

There is this kind dialog. :) Once you have marked some page/domain to be "Always Open in" then the next time you will go to any page of the domain then you will see special page. There you could either keep current container or follow to the one that is "Always Open in". If second then you will be able to tick checkbox to remember your decision and do not ask again.

This functionality could be quite misleading. This is why I proposed to slightly change it as I described in #2294. I would appreciate if you will vote for it.

As well, if your issue looks resolved then I would appreciate if you will close it. This way you will show others that inside there is a solutions for similar problems of others. :)

I have upvoted that change you suggested . That would have "fixed" my issue. I must have forgotten that I clicked on that "Remember my decision for this site"

Yes my issue seems to have been resolved. I will close this as soon as I figure out how to do that.
Greatly appreciate your help with it.
Hopefully the developers listen to that UI update request!
