No pair options or open tabs options on iPad / Firefox Account

Hi ckinsella, on the iOS or Android side, a new category should appear when you tap on the little box with the number of open tabs:

  • Tabs
  • Private
  • Synced

Can you find that on yours?

The Synced tabs list behaves a bit like a list of bookmarks: if you tap a tab from a different device, that page opens in the current tab. To open that page in a new tab, long-press the Synced tab to call up a menu with the choices of a new regular or private tab.

I am not aware of a setting that opens the tabs from other devices automatically.
