1355979 - Containers: new tabs should be created in the container of origin

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Greg]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Installed Containers (https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/containers). Created a WORK container and opened site-1. While viewing site-1 in the WORK container-tab, I tapped Ctrl+N.


Actual results:

A new tab was created, but the new tab was not in the WORK container (even though I was in a WORK container-tab when I tapped Ctrl+N). The new tab was created in NO container (ie, just a regular tab).


Expected results:

The idea of containers is to confine/demarcate your work, but this isn't usable if new tabs are not created in the container I'm working in. If I'm in a WORK container when I tap Ctrl+N, the new tab should be created in the WORK container. 

When I tap Ctrl+N, the new tab should take on whatever container I was in when I created it.
