Not a bug, Zen doesnt sync workspaces or any zen settings. Firefox syncs only firefox settings.

It's really good to keep the original browser tabs, but if I can't sync the tabs and folders in the workspace, I'll never abandon Arc to use Zen as my main browser. That's just ridiculous.

@pyrobc I’m not aware if Zen already has this, so I’m not calling it a technical bug. But if Zen’s goal is convenience and a smooth experience, then having to re-configure everything on each device goes against that idea. From a UX point of view, it feels like a bug even if it isn’t one in the code.

Spaces (and their assigned container) should sync, but their content (tabs/folders) does not (yet). This has simply not been implemented yet. It's quite a development on top of what's in Firefox's sync by default. Work in progress though.
