I have 150+ tabs open of Firefox Android. I would like to close some of them conveniently.

I have synced my tabs and on desktop I have now 2 ways to access them.

1. On the left "Synced Tabs". This is very nice, I can filter by text and open the appropriate tab. Now I decide, I want to get rid of it. Closing on closes on Desktop, which is expected behavior.

2. Using the "Show tabs on other device" icon. This lists all my tabs, some directly, some in sub-directory "inactive". I could now click the x button next to the tab and close it. But: Having 150+ tabs open, it is very difficult to find the open tab in question. I even have to click "Show more tabs".

Basically I would like to use version 1, find a tab, right click and select "close synced tab".

Am I missing an option?

That is exactly what I wrote in Option 2.

Please explain how to FILTER in Firefox View (which in Firefox is titles Show tabs from other devices). That is why I posted it in the TITLE of the question. Firefox View does not allow to filter, that is why your answer does not address the problem.
