Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Firefox Multi-Account Containers with the Steam Database extension, focusing on the “Sign in Via Steam” flow and how game data is retrieved. Determine an authentication approach that works inside containerized tabs; done means the extension can retrieve game data there without relying on cookies outside the active container.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
- OS: Manjaro Linux (Kernel: 5.3.18-1)
- Firefox 72.0.2 (64-bit)
- Firefox Multi-Account Containers: 6.1.1
- Steam Database (extension): 2.4.3
Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension separates website storage into tab-specific Containers.
I am using to keep my browsing patterns separate.
While "Sign in Via Steam" feature of Steam Database extension works inside containerized tab. The browser extension is unable to retrieve game data. Since the browser extension uses cookies stored outside the containers.
Expected behavior:
The extension should use some other method to authenticate with steam. Maybe a login page for the extension itself.
