How do I change the name of Devices I can send tabs to?

I have multiple Fire TV sticks... they're all labeled "Firefox on Fire TV Stick" when I go to send a tab to one of them. How am I supposed to tell the difference between all of them when they're all named the same thing? I would like to rename them. I haven't been able to find anywhere to do so. Right clicking on one in the "send tab to device" drop down just sends a tab to that device. Clicking and dragging them doesn't move them on that drop down either so I can't use their position relative to other devices to differentiate them either.

If you go into the Firefox preferences page and go to the Sync settings, you can change the device name from there. It will be the Change device name option.

Hope this helps.

NOTE: Firefox will need to sync the device names, so the changes may not immediately be reflected on all of your devices.

I already checked there... That will change the name of the computer I'm currently on... No other devices are listed there.

Attempting to find such settings from the device itself... As far as I can tell Firefox on a Fire TV Stick doesn't have a menu to access sync settings to change the device name.

Do the Fire TV sticks have different names to begin with? Because if FF doesn't know the name of the device it is on... well i have no comment, then.
