Rule conflict when using Firefox Containers: Same URL cannot run in multiple containers simultaneously #52

I’ve noticed an issue when using the extension in Firefox. When I open the same website in two different Containers (for example, one in a "Work" container and another in a "Personal" container), the extension only works for the first one.

The Problem:

I have a keep-alive rule set for a specific domain (e.g., https://example.com).

I open this site in my Work Container. The extension triggers correctly and starts the session maintenance.

I then open the same site in my Personal Container to log into a different account.

The extension in the second container does not trigger.

Expected Behavior: Since Firefox Containers are designed to isolate sessions and cookies, the extension should treat each container as a unique session. I should be able to keep multiple accounts alive for the same domain if they are in different containers.

Actual Behavior: It seems the extension detects the domain is already "running" a rule and ignores any subsequent tabs of the same URL, even if they are in completely separate container environments. This limits the ability to manage multiple accounts at once.

Environment:

Browser: Firefox 147.0.1

Extension: Session Alive 2.4

Feature: Firefox Multi-Account Containers
