I have followed the instructions here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/open-links-background-later-viewing-firefox-android so it's set up OK. When I click on a link (usually in Outlook app) I get the initial notification panel at the bottom of the screen and if I click on Open now it works fine, however if I decide not to open it immediately and I move onto the next email and the next etc, clicking links to be queued. When I go to Firefox I don't have a notification panel as shown in step 4 saying that I have x tabs waiting consequently I am unable to find or view all the queues tabs.

Did you block Firefox from your device's notification bar?

Checking the notification settings depends on your device, if you let us know which phone you are using we can give better steps.

In general this involves opening the Android Settings, then App Settings, finding Firefox on that list and tapping on it. Android then should display the Android settings for Firefox such as allowed notifications.

You can find these tabs in the History.

Thank you! I hadn't realised that notifications were blocked. I have followed your instructions above and now unblocked it (it's a Galaxy S8). I haven't tested it yet but am sure that this should resolve the issue now.
