Multiple Firefox Previews in Send To menus

On my Android phone I currently have Firefox Preview Nightly, Firefox Beta (which just today updated to the new Preview-type) and current (non-Preview-type) Firefox installed. I did previously have Firefox Preview installed too, which I had occasion to uninstall/reinstall once or maybe twice before finally uninstalling it.

In the Send To section of the Share menu in any of my current Firefox apps, and even in the Send Tab To Device menu on my laptop Firefox, I have FOUR Firefox Previews - when I don't have Firefox Preview installed at all - alongside the correct one Firefox Preview Nightly, one Firefox Beta, one Android Firefox and the one desktop Firefox.

Does any one know how I can get rid of these four extraneous Firefox Preview Send To targets? Happy to hand edit e.g. profile files if necessary if I know where in what file(s).

Why does this always happen? I have a problem, puzzle over it for hours, finally give up and ask ... and almost immediately afterwards the blindingly obvious answer occurs to me. Why doesn't it ever occur to me BEFORE I post?

Don't know if I can delete this question, but I'll leave it anyway in case someone else comes here looking for the same thing.

Solution:

Go to Manage Account in my Firefox account settings. Expand Devices & Apps section. Disconnect the excess device apps - in my case the multiple Firefox Previews listed as on my phone. Check and all the extra Send To Device entries have gone from all Android and desktop Firefox varieties.

Duh. Why didn't that occur to me before ?

(Can't believe how many old Notes and Firefox Monitors there were listed there!)
