Tab behavior after disabling and reenabling multi-account containers

The other day I attempted to use a script in the Greasemonkey extension, which would not work for me. I deleted the extension in the end, but in the process of trying to get it to work, I disabled all other extensions for a time to test what the problem might be.

Ever since then my profile seems to be corrupted in some way. I have refreshed Firefox, as well as made a new profile to test where the error must be. As soon as multi-account containers is reinstalled, the problem returns. This includes the fact that yesterday, for unrelated reasons, I decided to install Linux Mint for my OS and stop using Windows - as soon as I signed in my Firefox account and the profile synced in the new OS, the error returned. (The attempt at refreshing Firefox was done after installing Mint; the test profile was done on Windows.)

This is the behavior I'm seeing:

- I cannot drag a tab that's logged into a different container into a tab group with tabs that are not signed into any container. This includes tabs logged in on the Facebook container. - In fact, I cannot drag any tab that is logged into a container anywhere - they insist on being all the way to the right in the list of tabs. - If a tab logged into a container is all the way to the right in any given window, the button to open a new tab will automatically open the tab in that container instead of opening in no container, which is my preference.

I use the multi-account container extension extensively and would like to see this fixed. If anyone has any idea of what could be happening here I'd appreciate the help!
