Description

[Cody994]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have a list of containers that I have manually sorted alphabetically. Then right clicking on the new tab icon or on an existing tab and choosing to open in new container tab.

Actual results:

The containers are listed in creation (or possibly random) order

Expected results:

The containers should be listed in the manually sorted order

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Currently, this is only supported in Multi-Account Containers via the ContextualIdentities API. Since Containers are being supported by default (no addon required) in Firefox soon, we should port this feature to about:preferences#containers.
