New tabs opened within container tab don't mantain current container in certain cases
- Multi-Account Containers Version: 6.1.0
- Operating System + Version: MacOS X 10.13.6
- Firefox Version: Developer Edition, 69.0b14
- Other installed Add-ons + Version + Enabled/Disabled-Status:
Actual behavior
Case 1, opening a frame in a new tab/window:
When we have a container with a page with frames, right clicking in a frame, and choosing This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab
(also in new Window), the frame does open in a different Tab/Window, but it DOES NOT maintain the container the original page was opened at.
Case 2, opening a new tab via Alt+Enter in the URL bar Have any url in the address bar while in a Container Tab, and press alt+enter. The url opens in a new tab as expected, but it DOES NOT maintain the current container.
Both cases make that session/cookie dependent pages will not work because they (obviously) don't carry out them across containers.
Expected behavior
Opened frames/tabs/windows from within a container tab, should open in a tab of the same container. The same should happen when opening a new tab via "alt+enter" in the url bar.
Steps to reproduce
Case 1:
- Have a page in a container, which contains frames
- Right click within a container and choose
This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab
(or new Window) - The page does open in a new tab, but NOT on the same container as the original one.
Case 2:
- Have any page within a container.
- have any url in the address bar, and press Alt+Enter.
- The page does open in a new tab, but NOT on the same container as the original one.
Notes
Other cases DO maintain the current container, e.g.
Ctrl+click on any link
Middle click on any link
Right click on a link, and choose Open Link in New <current container> Tab
" When we have a container with a page with frames, right clicking in a frame, and choosing This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab(also in new Window), the frame does open in a different Tab/Window, but it DOES NOT maintain the container the original page was opened at."
I am seeing this behavior on Firefox 69.0.1 release version now. This worked fine in 68 and before as I was regularly using the feature, but now my firefox seems to have updated and broke it.
The ALT+ENTER issue is annoying!
If you are in a container and press Ctrl+Tab, the new tab does not retain the container. It would be nice to have a key shortcut to open a new tab "in the same container", meaning, in the current one, regardless of which one that is (without having to remember the number for each container).
