Preliminary Checks

  • [x] I am not filing an enhancement request.

What happened?

I'm using Firefox container everyday for my work, for the ability of logging in to the same site with different credentials at the same time.

With the recent URL design change, not sure if it is intentional or not, but the current container name is no longer visible in the URL bar anymore. I can no longer quickly check which container (thus which credentials of the current site) I'm currently using. My workaround to know what is the current container, is have to hover mouse on the tab title every time to check.

Expected behavior

container name is visible from URL bar

Actual behavior

container name is not visible from URL bar

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a container tab
  2. See that container name is no longer visible in URL bar

Yes this makes it difficult to know what tab a container is using
