container sync has been a thing for a while, but you have to enable it: https://i.imgur.com/UBj3TjW.png
1. Install Firefox.
2. Log in to fresh Firefox instance.
3. Let browser-wide sync happen.
4. Sync installs multi-account containers addon.
5. Four empty default containers are created. New user welcome flow is active.
6. Sign in to multi-account containers addon. Wait for container sync to do its thing.
7. Containers sync invisibly in the background.
- Default containers that you deleted before (in the instance you are syncing from) still exist in this fresh instance.
- New user welcome UX is still active.
So each time i setup a new browser and sync then, i have to go through and manually delete all the duplicates.
They dont re-appear once deleted and changes still sync (ie: if i add a URL rule to always open in x container) but holy crap is it annoying.
It also would never sync to my laptop for some reason?
The overall bad syncing experience was the main reason I stopped using them.
I dont setup a new machine all that often that I care too much. I figured it was a misconfigured cloud DB point, that at best I could get Mozilla to clean up and let me re-sync, but even then didnt bother to open a ticket.
Was expecting it under the standard account sync setting page.
