Profile information is wrong on Home timeline when having more than one account
Describe the bug When having multiple accounts on multiple containers and/or private tabs, the home timeline will keep profile information for one account and show it for all others, even if you're logged on another account on another container/private tab.
To Reproduce Install extension. Go to your home timeline with account 1. Go to a private tab or container, connect to account 2. Home timeline will show account 1's profile information on top left instead of account 2's.
Expected behavior Home timeline should be correctly displaying profile information for all accounts, even within a single instance with containers and private tabs.
Screenshots
Second tab is a container, using a different account than the first tab and still displays former account's information.
Browser Firefox 114.0.2
This a problem. Don't want to confuse myself as the other account. Hopefully it's going to be addressed with the now growing popularity of the extension. Dev did a good job overall I'm impressed.
I don't know how these private tabs/containers work but this is because of caching inside browser.storage.local
Can confirm this happened to me as well.

browser.storage.local
More info about how they work can be found here https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Contextual_Identity_Project/Containers
For some reason, browser.storage.local isn't separated between containers, which seems to be a known issue. Might need to change how you do the caching.
Since I have no plans for switching from browser.storage.local, I don't know if this will ever be fixed

That sucks, but I understand.

Understandable.
