Pin to taskbar - multiple website accounts

TLDR; unable to use work and personal gmail via pin to taskbar firefox webapp windows.

Starting to use pin tab to taskbar feature. I pinned both my work and personal gmail tabs to taskbar, it has grouped in win11 taskbar under one taskbar icon allowing to bring up eiter one of the windows. Once closed, I am only allowed to open my work mail by clicking the pinned icon. The adress bar is locked, so even when I open a second window (which is possible via RMB on icon -> Gmail click) I cannot switch from mail.google.com/mail/u/0 to mail.google.com/mail/u/1. Using the webapp to switch the account brings up a new tab inside firefox. Maybe it is not the intended use of this feature, the paradigm is one site (subdomain) per taskbar item, but it would be nice to think about how to make this work for some of the common platforms which people use multiple accounts simultaneously. After all it worked when I first shifted from tabs pinned in firefox to tabs pinned to taskbar.

Not sure if you figured this out already, but the workaround is to put the accounts in two separate containers and install each of those separately.
