Details

Reported in Matrix, see: https://scratch.madduck.net/.tmp__screencast-2025-12-18_10.15.45.webm for a repro.

I can reproduce if I visit https://www.odoo.com/trial in two different container tabs.
The value gets updated in both, but if I then close and re-open devtools it is correct.

So:

  • Open https://www.odoo.com/trial in one container
  • Open the same page in another container.
  • Open storage inspector on both and check cookies.
  • See how there are two different session ids (good)
  • Update the session id to whatever.
  • See how it changes in both (bad)
  • Close and reopen devtools. See how the right cookie value is back.

Hi, I've taken this here: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/discussions/2836

Good to see it's probably just a devtools issue.

Perhaps not too surprisingly, it also happens if instead of containers you use a private and non-private window.
