What do you mean by that? If your use case is not covered, you surely can write a WebExtension to provide the functionality. Containers as well as sync are exposed in the API.

I just wanted to know if the containers will be automatically synced across devices.

  I can't even get them to persist after restarting FF. :/

    Please describe the behaviour you're seeing vs. expecting. Is the session not restoring the URLs in the right container? That sounds like a bug to me. The container names (if you change from default) should be stored in the settings – if not, something is wrong on your machine. If you want to always open some specific URLs on start, pin those tabs.

      I updated the container names, colors, and icons. Opened a few tabs here and there. Installed a user agent switching plugin. Restarted to enable said plugin. While the session was restored, including the containers, the non-default container names/meta info were not. Tabs in non-default containers showed up with no labels, and there was no apparent way to open up a new tab in one of the custom containers. Also, changing a container's color does not change the color shown on existing tabs.

        Please check and file these bugs here: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers – I assume you are using this extension?

  It's not clear to me what exactly you expect to Sync. Container settings (names, colors, icons, assignments) should be synced (if not, please file a bug). Open tabs will be synced, not sure how they will open on another machine (considering URL-to-Container assignments should be synced, they should open in the respective containers – maybe there's a possible improvement here). I expect the different Cookie stores to be synced as well, if not, that's a bug.
