Unrelatedly curious- what did you use "select all tabs" for?
@Cris_Citrus
The way I browse the Internet on my laptop is different then browsing it on my phone. I often open tabs with pages 'to check later' on a device that is not crippled (I prefer to use laptop) but in many places I only have only phone with me - so after I gather some tabs - I then share them to my email/whatsapp/whatever and then open them on laptop.
... and no - I do not want to 'Sign In' into Firefox as things (and tabs) I do on a laptop are entirely different then the ones on the phone.
If you use firefox sync you can set it to not sync tabs by default, only send tabs when you want, which would fit you usecase.
Yeah I'm sure this is a rare use case - just sending them over to the desktop straight away via sync is way faster. I also browse differently on my phone than on my desktop, but I don't see how linking the devices hampers that in any way.
(In fact, I don't think it "syncs" tabs in the first place, as in, makes sure you have the same tabs open on both devices? It just makes a list of tabs on your other devices available, and allows you to manually send individual tabs.)
