"Send to tab" didn't work. How do I get a list of recently sent tabs?

more options

I had no access to my computer (a Mac) for a month, and sent many tabs from Firefox on my iPhone.

Today, I log onto my computer, macOS starts Firefox automatically (it was open when I shut the computer down), I get a notification that 71 tabs have been sent to Firefox (yay), but then when Firefox opens, I only see one window, containing the Firefox session restore, and nothing else. When I click "restore session", I get my month-old session, but not the 71 tabs.

Where can I get a list of all the tabs I sent to my devices?

Thanks!

Hi there,

It sounds to me like you needed to have closed Firefox first, as it restores tabs from the previous session if you unintentionally forced close the browser. Have you tried "syncing" them in your browser?

Also, if that does not help, then please check out the following two links that I'm listing below. They may have an answer, but I cannot guarantee it.

I do hope that you find a solution. Good luck!
