Query1

On windows device I click my username and see open tabs on iPad Doing the same on iPad does not show a list of open Windows tabs.

Query2 How do I pair both devices so that same tabs are open and synced on both devices?

No pair options or open tabs options on iPad / Firefox Account

Help pages do not help.

Hi ckinsella, on the iOS or Android side, a new category should appear when you tap on the little box with the number of open tabs:

  • Tabs
  • Private
  • Synced

Can you find that on yours?

The Synced tabs list behaves a bit like a list of bookmarks: if you tap a tab from a different device, that page opens in the current tab. To open that page in a new tab, long-press the Synced tab to call up a menu with the choices of a new regular or private tab.

I am not aware of a setting that opens the tabs from other devices automatically.
