If I send a link from Firefox for Android to FireFox for Windows PC, the links are opened directly in the browser. Is it possible to open them anonymously?

Currently, it's not possible to send a tab via Firefox Sync and have it open directly in a Private Browsing window. That would be a nice feature though.

What do you mean by "open them anonymously"?

When you send a tab, the Firefox Sync system is going to send them from your phone to your computer. The behaviour described in your post sounds like how the system is designed to work.
