If a websites URL does not begin with WWW, opening it in a Facebook container casues the container tab to open and close endlessly until forced to close

Hey, Kintesh! First, just let me thank you for this add-on. Being able to throw other sites that require Facebook log-ins into Mozilla's Facebook container has been a lifesaver.

But I ran into an issue with it and Containerise seemingly fighting over a URL's full address. I added a site earlier today to Containerise, to always open the Facebook container, something I've done several times before without issue. But when I went to load the page, instead of it loading, the tab began closing and opening endlessly until I had to force it to close. I tried again, with the same result.

I was confused at first, but checking the host/container list I noticed the one glaring difference between this site, and the others: it's URL does not begin with WWW. Typing it in will just redirect you right back to the URL without it. If that "www." is added to the front of the URL in Containerise, it will not attempt to load the site into a Facebook container as it sees them as two separate sites. However, removing the "www." from the URL creates this issue,

I've gone through the usual steps of ensuring it's not another add-on causing the issue, disabling all of them save for Multi-Account Containers (since FBC requires it), Facebook Container, and Containerise, and the issue still presented itself. I've tried to find other sites that have this same URL convention to test if it wasn't an issue with just this one site, but couldn't find another one after a few searches. So I can't say if it is just a site-specific problem or not, but it is something to keep in mind when trying to duplicate the issue.

I've attached a video of this occurrence so you could get an easier idea of how the issue plays out.

And, again, thank you for this add-on! Without it, I'd have had to ditch Facebook Container.

Well I can't replicate it on my side. I don't have any other addons that use container api. my config was 98kupd.com , Test1 and I was able to visit 98kupd.com and www.98kupd.com without any issue. I am happ for you to create a PR if figue out.

I'll look at this.

Whilst I prepare, it might help to have troubleshooting information – text (not raw data) from:

Here:

• reproducible when Firefox Multi-Account Containers 6.0.0 and Facebook Container 1.3.1 are enabled
• not reproducible when those two extensions are disabled.

I see a similar effect in combination with `Google Container' that is open a link in the tab with the Google search results in a new tab endlessly switching between default and google container

@SetekAstronomy have you tried adding both the domains: www.98kupd.com and 98kupd.com?
