Opening a link to "notifications" in an email received from facebookmail.com with Firefox that has Facebook Container Addon installed results in Firefox redirecting to a page to reset the account password.
#929
Other installed Add-ons + Version + Enabled/Disabled-Status: Ublock Origin 1.49.2 (Enabled)
Facebook is set to stay logged in and credentials saved.
These are legitimate emails from Facebook.
Actual behavior
If the Facebook Container addon is ENABLED and firefox is closed:
Opening a hyperlink to "Notifications" in an email received from facebookmail.com using Thunderbird opens the URL in Firefox, but it immediately redirects to a "reset your password" page with a url beginning with "http://www.facebook.com/recover/initiate...".
If the Facebook Container addon is ENABLED and firefox is already running and logged into facebook:
Opening a hyperlink to "Notifications" in an email received from facebookmail.com using Thunderbird opens the URL in Firefox. I am not prompted to login. I am presented with the Facebook Notifications.
If the Facebook Container addon is DISABLED and Firefox is closed:
Opening a hyperlink to "Notifications" in an email received from facebookmail.com using Thunderbird opens the URL in Firefox. I am then presented with a prompt to login to facebook. After providing credentials I'm presented with the Facebook Notifications.
If the Facebook Container addon is DISABLED and Firefox is already running and logged into facebook:
Opening a hyperlink to "Notifications" in an email received from facebookmail.com using Thunderbird opens the URL in Firefox. I am presented with the Facebook Notifications.
Expected behavior
Opening a link to facebook in an email that is legitimate should not trigger a password reset when facebook container is enabled. It should open the notifications page if I am logged in, or ask me to log in if I am not already.
Steps to reproduce
Install and enable facebook container
Close Firefox
Open Thunderbird (or any other email client probably)
Open an email from facebook that contains a link to "Notifications".
Click on a link that says "you have [x] notifications"

Because of this bug my poor mom, who is suffering from dementia, resets her facebook password several times a day sometimes.
