Description

Before submitting a bug report

  • I updated to the latest version of Multi-Account Container and tested if I can reproduce the issue
  • I searched for existing reports to see if it hasn't already been reported

Step to reproduce

  1. On my work computer, I open the multi-account container settings > Manage Containers > {select my work container} > Manage Site List > {find accounts.google.com} > {click delete icon}
  2. Wait a day or so
  3. Go to "Manage Site List" again and find that accounts.google.com has magically reappeared

Actual behavior

Something keeps adding accounts.google.com back to my work computer every time I delete it from that list / unassign it from containers.

Expected behavior

Deleting a site from a container's list should keep it unassigned to that container.

Additional informations

My problem could be related to these earlier reports:

But for me the site does not reappear in the list when I press the "sync" button in Firefox. Something else appears to cause this to happen, but I'm unable to figure out what it is.

On my home computer I do not assign accounts.google.com to any container either. The two computers' Firefoxes are synced (as well as my phone).
