Container settings not available despite syncing on a new machine.

Firefox Installation and updates

I noticed that despite syncing firefox on my linux distro to firefox on my windows machine, none of the container settings have been migrated. It seems like I have to create the categories and assign myriad pages from scratch. Is there any solution to this problem ? May be some file that I can manually move in the event the syncing didn't go well.

Thanks in advance

Hi

Container settings are currently not picked up in Firefox Sync, but this is something that may be considered in a future release of Firefox.

Oh, that's unfortunate. Containers is pretty awesome and I guess I'll have to replicate all my settings. I hope it's not just considered but implemented in the future releases.
