How do I see a list of tabs sent from another device?

Hi,

How do I see a list of tabs sent from another instance of Firefox? I use this feature a lot to send from Firefox on my phone or tablet to my PC. However sometimes if Firefox isn't open (as it was just now), when it starts up, the Session Manager addon asks me do I want to resume my previous session (always I do). The problem is that sometimes if there's a lot of tabs to be restored (usually there are), there's a lag between selecting a session and those tabs opening, and tabs pushed from another device open and then are promptly replaced by the previous session's tabs.

Is there any way to see a list of these pushed tabs, e.g. as a separate section in synced tabs, or are they pushed once and then promptly lost? It would be good anyway to have a history of these (in the way Pushbullet let's you see all pushes from any device to device, even if you're not on the device that was pushed to or from)?

Thanks.

I think this may be the closest your going to get for what you want to do: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-tab-to-device/

Hey,

Thanks for the reply, but that addon by it's description just allows you to send tabs to other devices, and that functionality is now built in to Firefox. What I was looking for is a way to see the history of tabs sent to other devices so I can open them again..

Thanks.

You can also look at the about:sync-tabs page.

You can open "about:" pages via the location/address bar

  • "about:" is a protocol to access special pages
