Don't see sent link or tab on iOS device after send from Firefox desktop

I tried send link to device to device for the first time today from my Firefox for desktop to my iPad. Both devices are synced to the same Firefox account and currently signed in. I get a "Sent" pop-up notification after I do the Send on the desktop web browser, but there is no notification of any kind on the iPad.

My searches for this on the web, and on this site, show me only the 'how to send' steps, and I see nothing that is 'where to look for received links'. What should I expect to see on the iOS device when I do this send?

FF for Mac 140.0b4 (beta channel, autoupdates) Mac OS 15.5 Sequoia iOS 18.5 FF for iOS 139.0

Hi Foxfree99,

Try to look into your iPad setting to make sure that you've allowed Notifications for Firefox for iOS.

Additionally, try to reconnect your Mozilla account on your iPad (log out, and then re-login), and see if it helps.

What works for me, though, is clicking on the Synced Tabs from the tab tray, and the send tabs will open automatically on your Open Tabs.

Let us know if that helps!

So simple and exactly right. It is not showing up as a 'notification' banner, but as a tab that opens when I open Firefox. I never would have guessed that it was a 'notification'. I have those silence from darn near every app except the ones I must respond to for work because I'm way to distractable.

THANK YOU!!!1
