"Send tab to device" only shows 4 most recent devices
When using "send tab to device", the submenu previously showed all synced devices, in my case, more than 10 devices. Recently it only shows 4 devices and there is no way to access the other ones. Is this broken or is it a recent change? If so, can I revert the behavior with a preference?
Under "manage devices", I still see all of my synced devices, they just don't show up in the "send to device" submenu.

I notice the same issue a few days ago with 109, but after a few days sync is now current. see screenshot You can also look at your sync tab and you'll see the same issue. This is why I run multiple browsers, just in case an update goes BOOM. Install waterfox or a previous version of firefox and you'll see all of your devices until 109 is current.

Thanks for that. I did notice a few days or a week ago that synced tabs from some devices were not showing on my iphone. Now I see that it has spread to the desktop. Let's hope this saorts itself out automatically as you say. I rely heavily on sync and sending tabs across devices.
It seems they don't come back on their own. I have to go to each missing computer and give it is kick. It seems just pressing the manual sync button doesn't do it either. Sending a tab from the missing computer to the computer where it is missing seems to do the trick (major pain though).

I guess the missing device has to be on and has to push a new sync to show up. It's not enough to be a "connected device" on your sync mamagement page. I used to be able to send tabs to devices that were off, then when the device turned on, the tab would appear.
I guess the update wiped out the list of synced devices and they don't come back until you actually sync them.
