Sharing links to other devices (rather than tabs)

In Firefox Android it used to be possible to share a link's URL to other devices.

In Firefox Preview (77 beta 1) it seems you're only able to send open tabs to other devices.

It's not a major problem, but it's certainly an annoyance to have to open the link in a tab just to then send it to another device.

Part of why I used this feature is for sending interesting links or videos to my desktop to read later, things I know I don't want to read or load right now. Particularly with video links that can lead to auto-playing and wasting a bit of mobile data just opening the tab to share it.

I couldn't find anywhere else for providing feedback on Firefox Preview so it's ended up here. Sorry.

Hi

Are you signed into your Firefox Account on both devices?

When I tap the menu icon and then the share icon in the latest Nightly build, the other devices I am signed into are available for me to share the page with.

Yes, but that's for sharing an already open tab.

I'm talking about the share menu for links/URLs selected from within the current page (without opening the link as a tab on my phone first).

The "Share link" menu is shown from long-pressing any link. It lists various apps to share the link to, but does not have the options to share it one of my Firefox devices.

This "Share link" menu, from long-pressing an anchor tag.
