Containers disappeared

musicinspirations

Hi ! I recently decided to go to my account page on Firefox and check my informations. I decided to remove my recovery mail but that's about it. Then an update came right after and logged me out so I just reconnected. At first, everything seemed fine, exept that I had to log in all of my accounts again (gmail, website accounts, etc.), but then I realized that my containers disappeared as well ! What could be the cause and is it possible to recover them somehow ? There was a lot of saved content on it ;(

(PS: On the other hand, my extensions didn't change, they are still active)

Thank you for your support and have a great day ~

Go to about:config and check the value of privacy.userContext.enabled. According to the code, switching it off could nuke all container data.
