One issue I have when using containers is that if I have a non-containerised tab and I click a link in it that leads to Twitter, which I have a container for, a new tab opens in the container, but the current tab also switches to a Twitter tab with the click, clobbering my session/history.

Is this a bug or conflict with another setting or add-on?

this doesn't happen for me. what's the other add-ons you have ?
I have things like CanvasBlocker, uBlock Origin, Tree Style Tabs, etc, and disabled third-party cookies. But nothing that should actively interfere with it. wrt containers, I have Multi-Account Containers, Containerise, and Temporary Containers. It happens every time I go to a URL that has an associated container I've made (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook etc).

I might try resetting my container plugins to see if I can clear it.

Fixed it. Containerise has a separate "Keep old tabs" setting that is different to the Multi-Account Containers "Replace tab" functionality. It works as intended now. Horray!
That's nice. thanks for sharing
