How to view/have the exact same opened tabs on different devices?

I am aware that I can access tabs from other devices by going to my firefox account>syncTabs, then open from there.

But What I want is have the exact same opened tabs between different devices.

Thanks

That is not possible without using Sync to sync the open tabs. There is send tab to device, but that doesn't really help and it doesn't work reliably anyway. On a desktop device you can open Synced tabs in the sidebar and right-click a device and click "Open All in Tabs".

I understand that I need to use Sync. And I do use Firefox Sync. However my question is, instead of having to open Synced tabs in the sidebar, is it possible to have same Tabs already opened in all devices? Meaning all Tabs (open/closed/pin) are exactly the same across all Synced devices

Thanks for the reply.

You can do that after sending the tabs to the other device(s). You can right click on one tab, then click the "Select All Tabs". Then right click and send the tabs to another device. see screenshot I have the same pinned tabs on most devices.

Sounds like it cannot be done.

Thanks for the suggestion. That seems like the only way to go, which is still through reopening Sync Tabs to current device.

So means that after opening browser in current device, I have to: 1. close all current Tabs 2. Immediately go to Sync Tabs to reopen Tab (that was based on previous device), to continue from where I left. (Hopefully it will be fast enough before firefox decides to "sync" my "empty" browser)

But of course then pinned Tabs would be impossible to managed.

Ultimately, this does not work for me. Thanks for the help though.

@Firefox Common dude! Haiz. This is so, so weird. Sync Tabs? Firefox, is what I am expecting, not logical?

On device A, select all tabs and send them the device B. That's it. Or on device B, just open the sync tab and it should see device A and it's tabs. You can then just right click on device A in the sync tab and click open all tabs.

Noted. That mean when opening the other device, need to remove all the tabs first before reopening based on the received tabs from earlier device.

Also, the pinned Tabs will need to be repinned right?
