When I use multiple windows, the pinned tabs don't work in the container they are supposed to work in and the pinned tabs don't synchronize with the other windows.

What happened?

I have assigned a container named “Container //01” to my Default Workspace. Any tab opened in the workspace named “Default Workspace” opens in the container I have assigned to the Workspace, unless the tab has a container assigned.

Notes: Assigning containers to tabs is done with the Firefox Multi-Account Containers add-on. Assigning containers to workspaces is done via the workspaces menu on the bottom left.

As you can see in the screenshots below, I assigned the blue container named “Container //01” for the discussion.fedora website (the tab that says “A post in ‘Look’). I assigned the blue container named ‘google’ for Gmail.

1. opened zen browser. opened Default Workspace.
2. pinned the fedora website.
3. I opened a new window. the Default Workspace opened. The pinned fedora website was fixed.
4. I opened the first window back. I pinned the gmail to the first window.
5. I opened the second window. The pinned gmail did not synchronize, it was not pinned. I refreshed the page and nothing changed.
6. I opened the third window (with new window). Default Workspace opened. The pinned fedora website and the pinned gmail website were fixed. But the gmail website did not work in the “gmail” container. It worked in the container named “Container //01”. It worked incorrectly. The website did not open with the message “Not secure”.
7. I refreshed the gmail website with Ctrl + R. The tab was not refreshed. The gmail website opened in the new tab in the “gmail” container. But the new tab was not pinned. The pinned tab was not working.

fedora 41 with appimage vers.

I remember having this problem in Windows 11, but I'm not sure.
