Yeah, I mainly use it for the "send tab to device X", love that feature so much!

I wish this feature would work for me. I can send a tab from firefox on windows or Linux and it won't show up on Firefox for iOS at all, or sometimes it will show up after a long (5+ min) delay.

Hmm that's weird, always worked flawlessly for me, I do also have my devices on the same VPN at all times though, maybe it's that? I also only use Linux and Android.

Likely an iOS issue, I'm sure.

just tested on an iPad I have, works fine :--)

I recommend KDE Connect, it also has this function. :)
But sometimes I use this and sometimes I use that feature.

I used to use that until I noticed that all open tabs for all logged in sessions are easily accessible through the menu or the "Firefox View"
