Why do I have to have Firefox "Remember History" selected in order for the Facebook Container add-on to work?

Facebook Container works until I update my privacy settings here: Options >> Privacy & Security >> History section >> "Firefox will: Remember History"

If I change this to "Never Remember History" then my Facebook Container plug-in stops working. I can tell this when I go to Facebook.com I don't see the blue "facebook" to the right of the address bar. When I change my setting back to Remember History then the container works fine.

Is this a bug?

Hi separate security issue, please update your Flash 26.0 r0 Flash Player Version: 29.0.0.171 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

I would suggest you go to the Extension page of the Developer use below to find it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/ and read their page info or use the Support site or contact for information. We are not privy to all information needed to run certain Extensions.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Containers do not work in Private Browsing mode, so you will have to refrain from using PB when you want to use the extension. This is the same for all extensions that need access to local storage to store its data.

Note that Containers is disabled in Private Browsing and when Never Remember History is selected in your privacy preferences.
