Remove synced tab from PC

I don't use iOS Firefox often, but after a recent use and closing all pages, one tab keeps remaining in my PC's address bar. I can change that when I go to other sites on mobile, but I can't remove it by syncing blank pages. I even tried disconnecting the device from the management page and re-connecting it. I used iOS Firefox before and didn't get this problem. I think it's a kinda recent bug that the last used mobile tab doesn't get removed?

Chosen solution

Synced tabs should expire automatically after a week, so you can wait to see if this tab will disappear.

Did you try to exclude tabs from getting synced?

Then I can wait.

It's not that I want this feature completely off. I just think if all tabs are gone from the phone, they should be gone from PC too.

If I turn it off and on again, they just return.

I didn't expect this from Firefox. It sounds more like Chrome (wait a week and we'll do it for you, you have no control). Also hard to find how it works. Now i know where my unsaved tabs went. I would prefer to delete tabs when i am done with them and keep them as long as I want.

How do we delete synced tabs? I have a long list in the left-side margin, and don't need them. I'd like to know how I can just delete them? Or do I have to wait a week?
