"Switch to tabs" in address bar accross containers

I am using a lot of containers (mostly, one container per website for regularly websites such as google, outlook, banking).

The address bar "switch to tab" feature seems to only work within the current container. That is, it does not find currently opened tabs from containers different than the current one. With my user of containers (a lot of containers with a single tab each), the address bar "switch to tab" feature is mostly useless.

- Is there any way to fix this? I would like to be able to switch tabs using the address bar and the "switch to tab" for all opened tabs, in all containers. - Is this a bug or an intended feature of containers?

To reproduce the issue, open 2 containers with 2 tabs each. Type Ctrl-L and type the title of one of the opened tabs. With my firefox nighly, I only see opened tabs from the current container.

This is an intended feature of containers, since containers is open source you can file an issue here: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues

If this helped answer your question, mark as solution. Thanks for using Firefox!
