Hi, I use Firefox sync on a mac, a windows and a samsung galaxy S3. From last Firefox release (35) I noticed that the phone lists itself as a device, among 'synced tabs' panel. This never happened before. (the mac and the pc correctly list only other devices, not themselves).

Can you tell how to fix it? thanks

Hi gioferret:

Sounds like a bug which I also can't reproduce (but we do have a similar bug like this from the share overlay that shows sharing to the same Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1122302) . I'll see if I can find a bug report for you. If I can't I'll file a bug and post a link here.

Cheers!

I understand that on your S3 the synced tabs have listed itself in the list of devices. It does not list itself in Firefox for Android beta.

Just a heads up, in Beta it looks like the Synced tabs will be moving to the new tab panels in the mobile version of Firefox.

Do you have more than one install of Firefox on the mobile device? This was the only way I can reproduce this.

hello, it already lists the synced tabs in the synced tabs panel - the new visualization,. No, I have ever had one only Firefox install on the phone, that's why it's strange that it lists itself.

cheers
