Opening a new tab and going to a particular url auto-closes the tab

[danielquinn]

I have a domain I've added to my /etc/hosts file to allow me to go to http://dev.mycompany.com/ and my local Nginx feeds this back locally to http://localhost:8000.

With containers enabled, the following is the case:

1. I open a new tab with Ctrl+t
2. I type dev.mycompany.com into the location bar
3. The browser starts to go to the page, and then just closes the tab.

• With containers disabled, this works fine.
• This works fine in a private browsing window
• This behaviour only appears to happen with this particular domain. http://localhost:8000/ works fine, as does any other domain I tried.
• Even if the dev server running on port 8000 isn't running (so Nginx just returns a 502 Bad Gateway), the tab still auto-closes.

Have you assigned dev.mycompany.com to a container?

[danielquinn]

Nope. Not as far as I could tell anyway. I went through each container and looked at the auto-assigned domains and it wasn't in there. In fact, nothing with .mycompany.com was listed.

I'm not able to reproduce this. 😢

@danielquinn can you:

1. go to about:profiles
2. open the root directory of the current profile
3. open [root-directory]/browser-extension-data/@testpilot-containers/storage in an editor and paste it here (you might want to double check and redact things perhaps)
4. open [root-directory]/containers in an editor and paste it here.
5. The following may also exist: [root-directory]/jetpack/@testpilot-containers/simple-storage again paste that here if it exists.

Thanks!

[danielquinn]

Sure, here you go. The personal domain in question is dev.moneymover.com:

I've the same problem; In my case I want to access a site that was associated to a container before ff 57. After the update to FF57 I've installed the Multi-Account Containers extension from GitHub (v. 4.0.2)
