Prior to FF 41 the send tab to other devices was available in the share menu, but is no longer there.

It is also not in FF Beta available from Google Play. It is back in the nightly build (v45 from memory) from https://nightly.mozilla.org where it has been moved to the top level menu (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1140048) but the nightly version does nothing except pop up a toast when I try to send a tab.

I used the send tab function all the time to send tabs to my desktop browser and am really missing it.

Sync is working fine and I can send tabs from desktop FF 41 to my android phone, just not from android to another device.

Why was the send tab option removed from FF 41 on android?
