Until recently, my favorite way to deal with links and posts too long to read on my mobile device was to use Firefox's Sync's send tab feature to have the link open in a tab on my desktop browser. The feature was available in Android's share menu, and prompted me to pick which desktop profile I wanted the tab to appear in.

As of Friday, the feature is no longer present in Frefox Beta. I can't send tabs from my tablet to my laptop anmore. Is the feature hidden, or gone for good? Do I need to do something to turn it back on?

hello flamsmark, the old Firefox Sync 'send tab' feature has apparently been limited to Nightly builds for the moment, because it had some issues. it is planned to reimplement that in a later stage but there is no ETA yet.

This is critical to me, where do I go for the nightlies that bring this feature back? Or is there some other way?

HI flamsmark:

This feature was renamed to "Send Tab to Devices" and was added back to Firefox in 29.0.1
