When I try to open a YouTube video, the browser repeatedly (and endlessly) opens and closes a couple of tabs. As you can imagine, the video never displays. Opening the tab in a private window works. I do have the YouTube container installed, so I expect that has something to do with it, but I don't know for certain. In any case, this certainly isn't expected to functionality.

Has anyone seen this before, and know what causes it?

Disabled the YouTube container, and the problem went away, so it's either something wrong with the container itself, or a bad interaction with another plugin.

Is this a known issue with the container add-on?
