Actual behavior

When using Ebay and Paypal in separaate containers purchases do not work. The only way around this to open Paypal in the same container as Ebay for that transaction. You can access Paypal in it's own container without issues but any other transaction even for other on-line organisations frequently doesn't work. You have to do the same as for Ebay. This should be made clear to users so that they know that they cannot keep their financial transactions separate from the site they are on for purchases.

With ebay you cannot print out a complete return label just the last bit that is a packing slip. Selecting pages to print from All, first, or second page has no affect

Expected behavior

Printing out should not be affected by the container. I assume that the actual return slip is on another server and the container cannot handle the re-direction though seeing that Ebay is in the cloud across CDN, etc this should not affect it

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to Ebays link to return label. (This only occurs after a seller has accepted a return) 2.Click on Print label and select your printer, pages to print (usually All), and click on print
  2. The page that should be printed are All that are two pages

https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/2244 appears to be a duplicate, but has some additional information.

This is the expected behavior and is made clear by using the word "Always" in "Always open in". If you assign a site to a container, it can't be opened anywhere else. Currently, your only option is to remove the assignment (See https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions#remove-always-open-in-site-from-a-container).

To use a Paypal (the website) separately, you have to:

  1. Create a container for it
  2. Open a new tab in this container first
  3. Then, open paypal in the tab container

It's a bit more step to do the same since it isn't automated but there's a feature request asking to allow a domain in multiple container (See #1749). I'm closing this issue in favor of it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
