Add support for containers to browser.startup.homepage
Filing on behalf of Daniel Roesler who originally filed this as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1506476
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Enable Multi-Account Containers
- Set example.com to always open in a Container B
- Set example.com as the Custom URL homepage in browser.startup.homepage (or via Preferences > Home > Homepage and new windows > Custom URLs)
Actual results:
Situation 1 (incorrect behavior):
- Close Firefox.
- Open Firefox.
- Homepage opens to example.com, but not in Container B
- Refresh the page.
- A new tab opens in Container B with example.com as url.
Situation 2 (correct behavior):
- Have Firefox open.
- Click the Home icon in the top toolbar.
- A new tab opens in Container B with example.com as url.
Expected results:
-
When opening Firefox for the first time, Custom URLs for the homepage should open in their default containers. NOTE: This may be security issue since it means urls you expected to open in a specific container is now leaked to your main tabs.
-
The browser.startup.homepage field in about:config should allow to manually specify containers in which to open the urls.
For example: browser.startup.homepage = "https://google.com|https://example.com/"
Should be able to do something like: browser.startup.homepage = "https://google.com|{ContainerB}https://example.com/"
Open to suggestions on what the notation syntax should be.
I created a 90 second screen capture video showing how to reproduce the issue on a new firefox profile (Firefox 63, Xubuntu 16.04).

I just updated to 66.0.1 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0, and domains now open in their correct containers. Not sure what changed in the latest update, but you can now mark this issue as resolved.
I just updated to 67.0 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0, the bug is back. Urls in browser.startup.homepage setting do not automatically open in their containers.
