I was refreshing my computer, by installing a new hard drive, and thus had to re install everything on it. But, before doing that, I synced my Firefox tabs, to my mobile's Firefox browser.

But, now, when I'm trying get those tabs back on the desktop, it isn't happening. I had Chrome running too at the time, it has brought all the tabs back, that were on my old install.

Please let me know, as I don't see option, that would restore my tabs.

Thanks a tonne.

hello rsscott, do those tabs show up when you go to firefox > history > tabs from other devices?
