The menu to show tabs from other computers is grayed out most of the time. Some times it enables itself after up to 1 hour, sometimes it is available immediately and some times it does not work at all.

about:sync-tabs is empty if the menu is grayed out. Internet connection is more than fine, no package drops, all other sync tasks working perfect (rsync, ...).

I just moved to the new Firefox from Chrome, but waiting 1 hour to continue with my work will bring me back to Chrome. Any solutions for that problem?

Hi Anton Trapp, Thank you for your question. If it is greyed out it may not be that the other device is connected.

Try this [about:sync-tabs] and see if there are some that can be searched for. If not please see if this is also reproducible in Safe Mode. Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode

No, the first computer is not connected to the internet when I start the second one ;)

Magically it seems to find the tabs sometimes with the sync server where the user has to create an account :D

Why do I have to create an account for syncing when it is syncinc in peer mode and where does it get the tabs from time to time when the first computer is offline? ;)
