Number of synced tabs: can I configure it?

I'm using several laptops and desktop computers. They all have plenty GB. I never close firefox. I rarely close any tabs - always have about 150 open.

One of the features I like most is syncing the tabs but it looks like I can see at most thirty something tabs from other devices. Is it a way to configure it?

Thanks Bronek

There seems to be a maximum to the amount of tabs data that is synced (20000 bytes). There are some other limits. So if you have tabs with long URLs then you will run earlier into this limit.

Do you have all your computers synced together with the same sync account?

Oh, I see :-(

const MAX_TAB_SIZE = 20000;
