Can I send tabs to Firefox without being inside Firefox?

I know this isn't an officially supported thing so maybe this falls under feature request instead. I'd like to send myself a URL via my Firefox account without having to open the URL in my browser. For example, if in a messaging program I receive a link I know I want to open, but I'm using a shared device or on a work computer. Ideally I'd like to use an API to quickly send the link so I could integrate with a third party tool like the MacOS tool Alfred, but I'm sure this would eventually be useful in other contexts.

Thanks!

You should be able to do that by sending tabs across devices. See Send Tab from Firefox desktop to other devices to learn more about the feature.
