Hello, I am not incredibly tech-savvy, so please bear with me. When I am in a Facebook container tab and I click a link to a video, a new tab opens and suddenly all the tabs I have open in Facebook start flashing. All I can do is close Firefox. If I open it again, the page is blank and the tabs have stopped flickering. Is there a solution to this problem? I have about a dozen tabs open, roughly half are in Facebook containers. Please help! Thanks.

Probably best is to take this to Facebook Container support or to Firefox Multi-Account Containers support as this can be a problem with either of these extensions.

Thank you for your prompt reply. How do I access Facebook Container support? After looking around this Help section, I don't see any way to access it.
