Using Auth to switch accounts in Logos app with Verbum app alongside Logos

There was an error rendering this rich post.

On Desktop Computer with Logos 41 Beta 2 in Windows 10. Firefox 136.0.1 browser.

Trying to open Verbum.com in Test Account:

Logos.com and Web app are in my Main account in browser
Open Verbum.com to Main
Signed out and the attempt to Sign in to Test account failed with Error message in Auth
Close all site tabs
Open Verbum.com and it needs a Sign in
Sign in to Test OK
Open logos.com to Test
Sign in to Main failed as above
Back button produced Sign in window and succeeded to get into Main.

Repeated the above with only logos.com in Main and Verbum.com was able to sign in to Test at Step 3.

Repeated the above with Logos.com and Web app in Main but Verbum.com failed at Step 6. It still failed after reloading the site. Logos.com also failed to sign in to Test after reloading and then failed to sign in to Main. Verbum.com failed again and I finally decided to "Verify your email" as per the Error message. This succeeded!!
NB. Did not have any problems when reproducing on Laptop with Logos 40.2 and Verbum 41 B2.

Trying to install the Verbum app and switch Logos app from Main to Test:

Use installer from Verbum.com in Test
Install Verbum 40.2 in Test account and update to 41 B2
From Logos app in Main acct, click "New User"
Sign in assumes I am in Test (from browser?) so I click Authorize
Logos app shows in Test.
Verbum.com tab has crashed but FF has a Restore button which brought it back to Test account.

Continue from above by switching Logos app from Test to Main with Verbum.com still in Test.

First attempt (an utter disaster as Logos crashes):

I have to "Verify your email" when signing in to Logos app as a New User.
Clicking the email link allows me to Authorize Main and Logos app opens
Then it aborts with a error popup and other aborts point to Out of Memory/Insufficient Memory
- so I increase Free Space from 13 GB to over 60 GB
Then it crashes with a variation on the theme, so I delete the Errors folder and Repair the installation
Another crash points to database corruption, so I delete the suspect Catalog database
When it crashed again with something completely different I restarted the computer and Logos seemed stable at last!.

Second Attempt:

Fast Switched Logos app from Main to Test OK.
Clicked "New User" and Sign out (Auth assumes the app is in Test)
Sign in to Main
Logos app opens in Main
Clicking Order History in Verbum.com tab produces Auth window which assumes it is "signed in" as Main.
So I Authorize the switch to Main??
It goes to Order History and then the Auth window reappears with a "busy" circular icon over the Authorize button.
I use the Back button to get back to Order History and then it appears to be stable in Main.
I can't rely on the Back button, though, so I close and reopen the tab to Main.

This process is too intensive and subject to errors..
