Hi guys.

As I've said above, I have up to date versions of Fifefox on everything, & followed the method provided on the forum to remove/disconnect all of my devices from my Fifefox account before updating each device, & then reconnecting each of them using my e-mail address & password.

However, whilst my 'phone is picking up the open tabs on my tablet, & vice versa, & my pc can see the open tabs on both, neither my 'phone, nor my tablet can see the open tabs on my desktop.

This is so frustrating!!! I've tried disconnecting everything again but all that has achieved is that, on my desktop, I now have multiple entries for each of the other devices!!

Although this might be for older versions of Fifefox, I've read that on the mobile devices, where the tabs of the device itself & the private browsing tabs are, there was another tab that showed the synced tabs; I don't have this.

I'm accessing my 'Synchronised Tabs' on the mobile devices by tapping on the address bar & swiping to the appropriate heading but as I've mentioned, these are only showing the tabs from the other mobile device, nothing from my desktop!!

Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem, or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Any help you guys could provide would be much appreciated :-)

Hi guys,

Just to update you all, I've now upgraded to Windows 10 & still have the same problem.

My 'phone & my tablet still sync with each other but my desktop just isn't interested in getting involved!

I notice that several people are having the same problem but does anyone have any ideas as to what the solution might be?

Thanks in advance :-)
