Tabs in multi account container are not synced?

So, my use case is this: I am a tab messy and really don't want to access all tabs from all devices - I am using different "tab landscapes" per device, so to speak.

So, enter containers, and their syncing. My idea was to create a few containers and fill with their specific tabs, and enable their syncing, so that I could access these task-specific "tab areas" aka tab containers across different devices, without affecting the overall "tab landscapes". Like or similar to saying "open all in new window" in a bookmark folder.

The container I created is shown on the synced devices, but the tabs are not. e.g. on the desktop PC I have 20 tabs in the container "Marie", on the laptop the container "Marie" is visible, but no tabs visible/listed/..

I enabled the syncing of Open tabs, Add-Ons, and Logins and passwords in the Settings for Sync, and I enabled Bookmark Menus and Firefox Account Sync for the multiple account container addon.

In case I entirely misunderstood the functioning of this, I'd much appreciate any hints on reaching my intended use case as well. =)

All the best Silvana
