Describe the bug
In Firefox container tabs, if we enable woogle to always open in a custom container tab. When we set woogle as default search and search through the address bar, the search target is not propogated and just the url localhost:8888/search which redirects to localhost:8888 and no search results are shown.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open Firefox and install firefox container tabs.
Open a new container in any of the default container or create you own container.
Click on the Container tab extension and select always open in selected container.
Make woogle your default search.
Create a new tab (normal or any container other that the one we set as default for woogle) and search for something.
No Search results are shown.

Expected behavior
A new container tab was opened with the search results.

Additional context
This extension does the containerised isolation of google urls. Can we have something similar for whoogle.
