A site I'm building has an email input. It is not connected to Facebook in any way, yet the Facebook Container claims the site can share my email address with Facebook.

How/why?

This seems to have come in with a recent Facebook Container release. Facebook Container now appears to make the same allegation about any site with a tag <input type="email">.

See jscher2000's workaround here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1345601

And the issue on Github: https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook/issues/783

Another workaround is to add to your input element: 

   class="fbc-has-badge"

This seems to make the extension think that it has already dealt with your input field, and leave it alone.
