Hi team, have reviewed few thread on Sync issue, but none was explicitly touching the issue I have. Running latest version on different PCs ( both Win10), using same account, I can't "send to" tabs among them. They are simply not in mutual device list. No problem to see mobile (Android here) devices in same account.

So, is this a recognized issue on PC with same account? I may just guest about HTTP "user-agent", same "display name" in Sync account and similar stuff in possible conflict, but better leave this on IT pros.


General issue is with speed of sync. If I open a tab, sync the device, then send to other device, sync that other too... and it's not instant there, even not after minutes. What could this be?

Though two questions, I thank for every reactions to them. BR Peter

Yes, of course... Simply this sync fails heavily that makes so many ppl post it. Possibly time to look at chrome and its sync provided I don't run any super FF specific extensions... Just a strong habit of the past sticking with FF :-)

Is there a reason for the old version of Firefox? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release I run about 6 version of Firefox, sync most of them and see no issues with the speed of sync. see old screenshot Nightly is my daily driver and I always snyc with 98.0.2 before my daily update of Nightly.

How do you come I stick with some old version?... I think this core feature should work since it's inception, no matter which versions have emerge since then ..

Just a question. Can you try another version to see if you have the same issue.
