4 years ago Until this is fixed, I need to know how to delete associations which open in the wrong containers. Or maybe how to flush the whole setup so I can start over.
On Linux, some things are now opening in the wrong containers.
Under Windows, it's so confused that Firefox won't open a link and Firefox will be unresponsive for 60 seconds.
Yes, I use Sync with Multi-Account Containers.
I've had to disable Multi-Account Containers on both platforms. I'd really like to be able to continue to use Multi-Account Containers, but can't until there is a way for me to regain control of the container associations, even if that means clearing all associations and starting over (a lot of work).

Actual behavior
Linux: works as expected Windows: going to https://outlook.office.com causes container thrashing between "Microsoft" and "LWTech" containers. This started after Linux deletion of a container immediately after "LWTech" which was "My.com". Prior to sync activation Linux had a "my.com" container where Windows had "My.com" (both entered by manually) and both were immediately after the LWTech container in the list. Obviously I didn't need both versions, so on the Linux side I deleted the uppercase version of the My.com. Linux being case sensitive saw the containers as two separate containers. Windows being case-insensitive saw them as one container, and worked fine until I deleted the uppercase version on the Linux side. Now Windows enumeration is out of whack, but the rules aren't. So while trying to open https://outlook.office.com Multi-container on windows flipflops between LWTech and Microsoft containers, finally opens a new tab and keeps trying. I've had to disable Multi-account containers on Windows for Firefox to continue operating normally. (some of this statement is supposition based on trying to recall events and determine why Windows Firefox became unusable for a day. I had to use New MS Edge [Chromium based] for a day while I sorted Firefox Windows issues out)
While in this bolloxed up mode, Multi-container drop down under Windows delays for 10 seconds before displaying the container list. Linux operates fine.
Container list [synced] before modification:
Microsoft ..., LWTech My.com my.com ...
Container list after modification:
Microsoft ... LWTech my.com ...
Expected behavior
Supposition: It might be best if case sensitive systems and case insensitive systems merged rules between case insensitive "matches", removing duplicate rules. This appears to be a case of two different OS philosophies (Windows/Linux) colliding at an application level.
Steps to reproduce
Notes
I can't sort this out further, so I've had to disable Multi-Container Add-On under Windows so Firefox will operate normally with the other Container Add-Ons still functioning. Unfortunately with Sync, this also disables Multi-Container on my Linux system at my other desk. I love the container concept (privacy and organization) and now use it heavily. Several of my peers left Chrome/Edge to use Firefox just because of the new container technology. This is a needed feature, so I'd love to see this debugged.
