How to reset / undo Gmail links always opening in the same container?

I am not sure how it happened, but when I click on a link in my Gmail, it defaults to opening in the Shopping container. I cannot find a way to reset this behavior. I can only right-click on a link and select which container in which to open a new tab, but this does not change the default behavior thereafter.

Furthermore, I cannot see in the Firefox preferences tab a way to reset preferences for a specific container.

Thanks for your help!

Chosen solution

Are you using the Multi Account Containers extension because normally Firefox wouldn't open a website/link in a specific container ?

Yes, thank you. I incorrectly thought the add-on was an integrated part of Firefox. I will go post on the add-on's support site instead.
