Missing tabs from other devices
I can no longer see a list of tabs from other devices. My computer was wiped recently and I was using the tab sync function to see the tabs I had open before the wipe. Now they have vanished. How do I get them back?

Hi Dan, that "Open Tabs" list expires after a while, so unfortunately, it might be gone, but to double-check:
You can check what data is in the Sync cloud for your Mozilla Account using the About Sync add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/about-sync/
After you install the add-on, you can type or paste about:sync in the address bar and press Enter to load it. The page shows each category of data currently found in the Sync cloud.
Anything useful under tabs?
If not, did you make any backups of the data from before the wipe?

Billiant! Yes that has worked and I can see a JSON file of the tabs from the PC with it's old device name. It also contain tabs I know to have closed, but that's fine - I have what I need and can work through the webpages I want to keep.
Thank you!
Hopefully you can find a way to save the list before it disappears.
