Deleted Container Reappears On Devices Even after Syncing After Deletion
Before submitting a bug report
- [X] I updated to the latest version of Multi-Account Container and tested if I can reproduce the issue
- [X] I searched for existing reports to see if it hasn't already been reported
Step to reproduce
open tab for container 1, open website that was once set to open for container 2 only (in my case it was outlook.com) it will then ask you which container, you should open the website in (which shouldn't appear since the other container was deleted in the past)
Actual behavior
randomly, the extension will sync even deleted containers, when it does this issue will happen.
Expected behavior
syncing extension should sync to the master list and sync to all devices.
Additional informations
not sure what else to say here.
Provide a copy of Troubleshooting Information page (optional)
No response
Possibly related to or same as #2717 (newer), unclear if that relates to syncing. In my case at least I do have syncing turned on. Would be interesting to hear of a case with no sync.

I recently migrated my firefox profile to waterfox and I'm facing this issue. There is a specific container called "private" that reappears and I don't have sync enabled.
I had a collection of bookmarks in a Container. I don't need the Container anymore. So I deleted the Container (i.e. Remove). I sync all devices and the Container is gone.
A few days later, the Container that I deleted is back.
I remove the Container, and sync. Check other devices and all OK.
Then a few days later, the Container is back.
It feels like Groundhog Day ...
Maybe I have to manually delete all the bookmarks in that Container???

I simply renamed the container(s) that kept coming back and used it for other purposes instead of creating new container. This change was persistent and for now this is a workaround until Mozilla fixes this.
So syncing does work for you? I have multiple devices but containers are not synced as I would expect.
I am having a similar issue. I accidentally set a website to auto open with a particular container. When I undo this, delete the website from the list of associated websites under the manage container settings, it works for a while but eventually comes back and tries to auto open in that container again. Very frustrating.

Yes, the sync is working for me. My comment was only about deleting a container but it always coming back a few days later. So while it deleted temporarily, it shows up again.
Same problem here since working on two devices with FF and Multi-Containers. Before I was working with Multi-Containers one just one laptop and this was working perfectly. Now it is just super annoying to select the correct container through the clutter....
