Why does New York Times open in Facebook Container?

When I load the New York Times website, it opens automatically in the Facebook container. I have cleared all history and restarted the browser and then opened only the New York Times -- no other tabs/sites -- and it still opens in Facebook Container. Does anyone know why that happens and/or how to stop it from happening? The whole point of Facebook Container is to isolate it from everything else you're doing so it can't track all your other business. What you're reading in the NYT is a lot of business for Facebook to be tracking...

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I removed and reinstalled both container extensions and now NYT opens in the correct container and allows me to log in.

Strange.

Hi jumblemails, Do you also use the Multi-Account Container ?

Hi Robertj - Thanks for responding. I do use Multi-Account Container but I tried disabling it and NYT still opened in Facebook Container when it was disabled....

I should add that, when Facebook and/or Multi-Account Container are enabled, I cannot log in to my NYT account -- when I attempt to log in, the NYT website directs me to a subscribe page (I am a subscriber and my login and password work fine if both extensions are disabled).
