Website always opens in container, "Reopen in Container" => "No Container" doesn't work

Desktop FireFox browser v. 84.0.2 (64-bit)

I made the mistake of asking to always open a site in a container and for it to remember my choice. Now I can't get it to open in no container. The context menu choice to "Reopen in Container" => "No Container" seems to ignored.

The issue: I have to different logins for a site (dev.azure.com). I open one in the work container and the other in no container. I didn't realize the open in container would operate only on the domain, which makes sense in hindsight. However, now the site is broken for one of the sites, and I can't find where to reset this choice. How do I do that?

Chosen solution

Found a solution. Right-click in a blank area of the web page and choose "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" and uncheck "Always Open in This Container." Reload the web page.

Two suggestions:

  1. The context menu of the tab to open in no tab should either do that or be disabled in the menu
  2. It should be more easily discoverable how to reset that option
