Is anyone else seeing Firefox "send tab to device" not working properly?

Anybody else having issues with this feature? It had been working well to send tabs from my tablet and phone to my desktop computer, which I have been doing due to the lame way that FF uses for filing bookmarks into folders on the mobile devices.

A few days ago I started seeing "unable to send" popping up after a delay, instead of "tab sent" which typically appears immediately. Sometimes, the tab is sent even though it says it wasn't and sometimes it will send it after repeated attempts, and other times it doesn't. My wireless network and ISP connection are high speed and reliable.

So far, the problem only appears when trying to send from mobile to desktop. Sending from the desktop to mobile seems to work fine. The problem started while using 147.0.4 and persists after upgrading to 148.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Some time during the night Mozilla apparently resolved the issue. As confirmed by my testing and a participant in the Reddit thread, it is now working as of this morning.

Hi,

I'd recommend to report that on Bugzilla, Mozilla's bug tracker, so that the developers can take a look. Please also feel free to share a link to your bug report here for us to follow along.
