#Workspace default container keeps getting changed

Hello guys,
I have two devices, one running on macOS, and other on Windows. I have setup Zen Browser on both, and (almost) every thing works like it is supposed to be. But I don't know what am I doing wrong but I'm unable to set the default container for the different workspaces, IF I set in one, it messed with the other. So if I correct it on macOS, it gets messed up on Windows, and vice-versa.

Am I missing something? How exactly are the default containers handled?

Attached are some screenshots:

Look, your default container settings live in your zen profile, so when you tweak them on one machine without syncing, they end up different on the other. Try this, log into your firefox account on both macOS and windows, and make sure you've enabled container sync (multi account container addon). That way, your custom container setups like names, colors, site assignments get automatically synced between devices. let firefox handle the grunt work so you don’t have to keep manually reconfiguring your setup every time.

Hi @supple light , that sync setting is actually on, that is why when I change (fix) in one, it gets sync in other, but actually breaks the other.
So I think maybe, how Zen browser and Multi Account Container add-on handle the ordering, either by name or id, is a bit different.

btw, is there a way I can simply copy something from one to another and that might fix this?, or something else which I can tinker with to get this sync up properly?
