Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Security, defect)

Description

[sedrubal]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0
Build ID: 20180904093742

Steps to reproduce:

I tested the firefox 62 fedora package before it was released. Then I switched back to the official Firefox 61 fedora package. At every time the container tab extension was installed.


Actual results:

All custom container tab categories are lost. I can only see Personal, Work, Banking and Shopping.


Expected results:

All container tab categories should be kept across all firefox versions that support the container tab extension.

I looked something around in my profiles folder and I think the containers.json was resetted but not the ./browser-extension-data/@testpilot-containers/storage.js. This results in even more strange situations like pages that open up in wrong containers...
