Moving from a "no container" tab to PayPal (to finish a purchase), in a banking tab, and back to the "no container" tab.

PayPal always opens in a Banking container. When I pay for an online purchase with PayPal, from a no-container tab, I get successfully transferred to PayPal in a Banking container. But, when PayPal tries to send me back the merchant site I get a blank white page. Is there a way to keep PayPal always in a Banking container, and be able to move back to a non-banking container? Do I need to open any merchant site in a Banking container if I want to use PayPal to make the payment? ... or, remove PayPal from the "always open" list in my Banking container? Thanks, Mark

The entire purpose of the containers feature in Firefox is to keep the websites in one container from communicating with websites in another container. For example, so that Amazon can open in the Shopping container, but websites in other containers can't use Amazon data for advertising purposes.

Therefore, when PayPal opens in the Banking container, the website you are shopping on can't see anything that PayPal does in the other container.

Either solution that you have provided could work. You could remove PayPal from the Banking container or put the website you are buying from into the Banking container. Both would allow PayPal and the store website to communicate.

Hope this helps.
