How can I list all devices synced to a particular Mozilla account, say, from one of the synced devices?
I'm looking for a way to display which devices are synced to my primary computer, or, failing that, a way at least to show the number of devices linked.

Hello
Unfortunately, there is no "standard" method of doing this, more of a workaround. If you are syncing tabs, you can enter about:sync-tabs in the location bar or Firefox button --> history --> tabs from other devices
Hope this gets you going.

Thanks for the suggestion, Michael. I could imagine other scenarios where it might help, but in the case I have in mind, there are two problems.
First, I am not syncing tabs.
Second, I'm curious about the possibility of a rogue machine syncing to my account, say, to grab passwords. I'd imagine that someone making such an attempt would try to keep as low a profile as possible and so would not sync tabs or anything else that might indicate the presence of a stealth syncer, as it were.
I am aware that Mozilla notifies me by email when a new device begins syncing, so my concern here is pretty much theoretical. However, it still does seem to me that what I'm asking about would be a good feature for Sync -> Manage to possess -- a way to list all synced devices or at least the number of them.
Do you suppose I should file this in Bugzilla? Or can you suggest a more appropriate place for my feature request?
Thanks again for taking the time to post an answer.
