Cookies in containers not deleted

Describe the Bug/Feature

If we add domain to whitelist in Work container, cookies will not be deleted in Banking container.

Steps for anyone to reproduce the bug

• create clean Firefox profile
• install CAD
• configure CAD to support Firefox Container Tabs
• add *.mozilla.org to Whitelist in Work container (firefox-container-2)
• enable Auto-clean
• close two mozilla.org tabs you should have in clean profile on first start
• cookies will be deleted (because this is “default” container)
• create new Banking container (firefox-container-3)
• open mozilla.org
• close mozilla.org tab
• cookies will not be deleted

Your settings

Delay is set to 0.1 to speed things up. No difference with 0 or 1.

It is set to true: privacy.userContext.enabled;true

I just installed the add-on and did not edit anything in about:config for containers: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

I think this not work, because settings are not initialized. You probably skip deleting when iterating over containers if settings for container is nonexistent. I have red icon only in Default and Work container - Dafault may be here all the time, and Work is “touched” when I created first entry in whitelist.

I tested this again, by adding empty rule to all lists and then removing it (just click +Whitelist on every container and then Delete) and this seems to fix this problem for me. I will test this again in clean profile and confirm. Edit: Seems to be the case.
