Use several Facebook accounts at the same time, with Firefox multi-account containers
Firefox has multi-account containers that allow you to use the same website with several accounts, without having to use a different browser. One of these containers is called "Facebook" and its behavior is a bit different from the others:
I have several Facebook accounts and would like to open each one in a separate container (both facebook.com and messenger.com), so I created other containers such as "Facebook 2".
Problem: Whenever I open a "Facebook 2" container tab and launch facebook.com or messenger.com in it, the tab is automatically switched to the "Facebook" container.
Question: How to disable this behavior, and let me open facebook.com and messenger.com in containers other than the out-of-the-box "Facebook" container?
Note: I know facebook.com itself has a multi-account feature, but it does not work because I want to have two messenger.com tabs with different accounts open at the same time. Also, I want them to be in the same browser window, so not in different profiles nor in a different browser.
