For some reason, in my firefox profile, when I try to access "https://accounts.google.com", it open on new tab with a specific container, while other url keep open with no container. I've never configure this behavior, or found a setting to fix it. It only happen on my current firefox profile. If I create new profile, this problem didnt occurs.

Edit 2: I dont see any corelation why an unloaded tab causing this problem. Luckily, I manage to narrow down the problem and can be reproducable with the following step.

1. Create a new firefox profile 2. Enable firefox container. 2.1 I'm using about:config 2.2 set `privacy.userContext.enabled` to `true` 2.3 set `privacy.userContext.ui.enabled` to `true` 3. Install Tab Session manager 4. Import the session from the link I provide. 5. Reload session window. 6. You can delete the extention as it not required to reproduce the bug. Extentions only used to import the session 7. Use any external app that open "https://accounts.google.com/"

Edit: It only happend for this window only, if I open on new window, this problem doesnt exist either. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-G3urs2P3zyG2tuss6bXTFa2Wb5X9Qyd&usp=drive_fs

Temp solution: For now, I think I'll find a way to move all tabs into new browser window. As this problem quite annoying to me.
