Incomplete Tab Sync

Xiphias

I am using Firefox Sync to access tabs from a remote computer. The remote computer currently has ~175 tabs open, and I clicked "Sync Now" from the remote computer a couple of hours ago. However, when I go to about:sync-tabs on my local computer, only ~75 from the remote computer are listed.

Why aren't all of the open tabs listed?

I couldn't find any documentation about a tab sync limit, and I am well under my sync data quota, at under 500 kb. My local computer is running Firefox 22 (beta), the remote computer is running Firefox 21 (release).

Try to troubleshoot your SYNC

I tried deleting all of my sync data, and I tried resetting my sync. Still no change (after re-syncing everything). Any other ideas?
