Hi, thank you for reading this issue.

My issue is that I can't send current tab website's link to other device with Firefox account connected. There's no "Send to" like paper plane icon on Firefox (Nightly) for Android.

Am I missing something?

There's no option in share function neither. If you have a share trick, please share it with me, even if it involves other apps. (I haven't learned how to use Tasker, I couldn't understand it.)

I'm using Firefox Preview for Android.

To developers: I'm aware that it's unfinished, please take this feature suggestion to implement, considering it's only reason why I signed in for Firefox sync.

See https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/pull/2790/commits

Hi

I understand that Firefox Sync did not connect to your mobile device on this occasion, but hopefully I should be able to help you force a Sync event to take place.

Assuming you have connected the same Sync account on both your mobile and desktop copies of Firefox:

In Firefox on your mobile device:

  1. Go into the Settings menu and select Firefox Account.
  2. Tap on Synchronise now.

This will “force” a synchronisation of the data that is on the local device storage.

Best regards boof.
