I just wish Firefox would improve their UI and add a few features without needing to rely on extensions (tab groups, vertical tabs, sharing tabs from mobile to desktop, etc.).

I can send a tab from my mobile Firefox to my desktop Firefox by default, so that's at least one of those that doesn't need an extension.

Yeah I thought it had that feature already but I wasn’t seeing it. I’ll have to look again.

On mobile: Hit the three line menu button -> "Send link to device"
On desktop: Right click on a tab -> "Send tab to device"

Kind of odd that they're not the same language, actually. For what it's worth I'm on iOS so it might be different for FF on Android.

You can also send either direction via the share menu, so long as you have your Firefox account signed in to them.

Is it possible to use it without syncing all browser tabs? I tried to read about it on their website since I want to know exactly what they collect and how they store it but couldn't find anuthing other than instructions on how to set it up.

[–] LetMeEatCake 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know anything about tab syncing, so I don't know. Sorry!
