I am trying to move all the synced tabs brought in from android chrome and Firefox pc into the current active tabs I have on Firefox android.

I've only been able to get 1 at a time to move over, but I have well over a hundred open in putting the two other browsers together..

Everything I've been able to look up about it only deals either the syncing part.


And, is there a way to have am active sync? As in, I open a tab in Firefox on laptop, it opens that tab on my Firefox mobile? And vice versa.

Hi

It is not possible to sync data directly between Chrome and Firefox on an Android device. This article may help:

You can send tabs between devices signed into your Firefox Account. This article will help:

You should be able to open the tab in Firefox for Android, but if will still show as a synced tab from your desktop copy of Firefox.
