No ability to see open Safari tabs in other devices on iPhone 4s

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.2. I have set up iCloud on all my devices and it works to sync mail, calendar, contacts on all devices (iMac, iPad & iPhone). What I can't see on my iPhone are the open Safari tabs in my other devices. I can see open tabs in other devices (inlcuding the iPhone) on both my iPad and iMac.

Currently There is only one option to watch 1080P movies from iTunes on your Apple devices... With a sync with a laptop.. Apple by default sends the 720P file... Users have no option to control video download... Some like me want the full file... Some uses may think the 720P file is fine... However I see the difference... And it is big.. The iPhone has a 1080P camera... So it can play and store a 1080P file... And the screen does display a better image... Just watching a iTunes movie and shooting a video in 1080P on your iPhone and you can see the image is better.. YES it's 1080P... not 720... Apple has know from release of iPhone 5 on September 21,2012 iPhone can play 1080P file... However the system is overloaded as I seen on my Apple T.V. On Christmas say ready to pay is 8 hours 22 minutes... I pay for 50MBps download and 5MBps download.. fastest I can get in my area... It's obvious it will load Apple's network and the don't want to make the changes... Users now wanting 1080p files for iPhones/iPads.... The system load would jump off the scale... I contacted Apple told them the issues, currently they have stopped emailing me replies on the issue after issue was escalated to Apple engineers... Apple knows... Yet...
I want control of what file I download into my device over Wi-Fi... Apple has missed the ball for over two years... Missed it rolling down the hall... Missed it bouncing down the stairs.... Missed it as it rolled across the street and is still going with no fix yet....

How do I access open tabs from other devices in Firefox 4 for desktop (windows version)

I want to see the open tabs from other devices but I can't find how to access it.
Where do I find them in firefox 4?
I use the windows version.
Thank you!

This is for all versions (image attached below):
1. In the top navigation (you might have to press the ALT key to reveal the menu), navigate to '''History - Tabs From Other Computers'''
2. Alternatively; open a new tab and type '''about:sync-tabs''' then press enter.
NB: When you open a tab in the 'Tabs From Other Computers' window it '''WILL NOT''' remove that tab from the other device.

Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history - Only a third or so listed.

Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history -> Only a third or so listed.
Usually, when I reinstall Windows, I manually backup my Firefox bookmarks and open tabs, but because Sync has worked perfectly for me in the past, I didn't do it this time. I backed up all my other files and settings and whatnot from the rest of my system, then in Firefox I hit the Sync button (put in on the GUI so I see if it's syncing or done) for the last time, waited until the green rotating dot was gone, closed Firefox, shut down the system, formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows and Firefox. After setting up Sync I waited a while to make sure everything is on my system.
Then I wanted to have all the tabs and windows open as I had on the old system, so I went to the history and "tabs on other devices". I could already see from the small size of the list, that tabs were missing. I went through all of them, opened them and sorted them into windows.
-> Maybe about two thirds of the tabs I had open on my old system are gone!
Not just new tabs that might not have been synced (although the button showed sync was complete), but also old tabs (from weeks ago) that must have been synced before. Actually maybe especially or even only the old ones are lost. And the lost tabs are not just from one of the open windows, but from several.
What can I do to recover my lost tabs?
They contain important websites that I didn't bookmark yet, articles that I wanted to read, windows with dozens of tabs on a topic that I did some research for and stuff like that.
What does the green circle mean? Does it indicate that the sync is complete (to the Firefox servers) or just that the changes have been saved locally and set up for some next scheduled sync with the Firefox servers?
Further info:
I always run the newest stable release of Firefox (v19 on both systems). Old system was Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation, new system is Windows 8 Pro. My used Sync quota is about 10 MB. I had 4 Firefox windows open with different amount of tabs in each of them, from 10 to maybe 80 with an overall amount of 150-200. Most of them weren't loaded. Firefox start is set to "load last session" and tabs are set to "load when selected". Memory usage 500 MB - 1 GB.

I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer. I also follow the stock market, and the weather. I was also looking at various VIrtual Private Networking (VPN) sites. At one time, I probably had 20 - 50 tabs open, just for those. I did bookmark a few, but unfortunately lost the VPN tabs, when Firefox crashed. Even if I don`t go to a particular group of tabs very often, leaving it open is faster, especially since I will know where they are. I often put the computer in standby mode, rather than shutting it off, especially if I will remain in the same location.

Firefox Sync places "Tabs" from other devices all on a single page.

Before late yesterday and today, I had never used Firefox Sync. I did eventually find the results under the History menu, under "Tabs from other Devices". The system was not well explained. I searched the internet, and did not find any explanation of where to find the results. All of the "Tabs" were on one page, vertically listed from top to bottom. They were not in the order I had them in my browser windows, but appeared to be in somewhat of a random, haphazard order. Before Firefox crashed yesterday, I probably had 300 - 400 tabs open in the two windows. There is no way the current Sync system will be of any value to me. I have had crashes, for about the last year or so, because my Windows XP computer only has 1.5 Gb of memory, which is still more than a lot of XP computers had. An acquaintance has a Windows Vista computer with 2 Gb memory, and also experiences crashes. I recently purchased a Windows 7 64 bit computer with a lot of memory. I moved by bookmarks over ( for Firefox), and even got Netscape 4.8 running, even though it has a 16 bit installer, that will not run by itself on a 64 bit system, but there seems to be no easy way to transfer the contents of my Firefox tabs over. I considered using MozBackup, to transfer the tabs, but the author said he did not think that was a good idea.

I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer.

Two devices synced, but firefox will not show most tabs from other devices.

I have had my laptop and my PC synced forever. Up until a week ago when I clicked "tabs from other devices" it would show me all of my tabs from the other computer, and if I closed one or opened a new one it would show up in the list almost instantly. Now all of a sudden when I click show tabs from other devices it will only show one or two of the tabs I have open on the other computer and ignore all the rest. No matter what I do I can only get it to show like google and facebook. Everything is still synced properly, bookmarks and all that jazz work fine. It's just the show tabs from other devices that isn't working, and that's the only feature I care about. If your suggestion is to make a new sync profile, don't bother responding, as that is not the problem or the solution.

Hi tdkevin,
This is strange you were not asked to try the new sync. As the old sync has the tab sync feature, but the new one has a new place for them. In order to move to the new sync you have to remove all the devices from the old sync and then it will allow you to set up the new one.
In Firefox for Android
In the new one in a new tab, tap on History, then on the bottom there are two icons: a clock and one with 4 grey squares. Tap that one and look at the recently synced tabs.
In Firefox for Desktop
if you have not set up the new sync the Tabs will sync every interval of time set by default in the about:config page. (search for sync interval I think). In the new one the about:accounts page will have a manage button that will take you to the preferences of sync. There you can check the Tabs tick.
I hope this clears up the differences between the old and new. The original question though was why some tabs were syncing and others not. I do not know, we can look at about:sync-logs if you have any errors in those log files. This may help lead to some more info.

Sync does not show tabs from other devices

I have two computers running Windows 8.1 and FF 26: at work, and at home. Both are synced, however, every time I want to see tabs on the other computer (History - Tabs from other devices) all I see is a blank tab. Sync settings on both are to sync everything (tabs option checked).
Is this a bug, or is there anything else I need to do to see the remote tabs?

Hi, yes, other items do sync (bookmarks from remote host show up instantly).

As you can see, there are some potential authentication issues, but I don't understand why would it only affect tabs sync, while bookmarks are fine. Note also that I merged all the stuff to the sync account by Sync - Manage Account - Reset Sync - Merge data from this device browser into your Sync account.
Thanks for your help!

Flash upgrade closes all open Safari tabs

Why does all my tabs in Safari get deleted EVERY TIME I have to upgrade FlashPlayer. As step 3 you make my Safari open ONE tab that thanks me for using FlashPlayer, all my other tabs that I had open prior to being forced to upgrade Flash are gone
I am running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on a MacBook Pro 13" 2.8 Core i7 with 16GB RAM

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of our current installer technology. I've passed your feedback along to the appropriate team.

Movable Safari Tabs on iOS Devices

While using my iPhone today I realized that there does not seem to be a way to move the position of tabs within safari.
I had 6 tabs open, and just based off of intuition, I tried to move a tab's location by pressing/holding onto one thinking that it would eventually shake and become movable. I was surprised to see that nothing happened and that there did not seem to be any way to rearrange tabs in safari on an iPhone (and I would assume iPad as well, but I cannot test that until later tonight).
What do you guys think about the possibility of adding the functionality to press/hold onto a tab in safari to have it shake and become movable. I think it follows the "you already know how to use it before you use it" mentality and would would be used by many users, especially if this functionality is not already on the iPad.

tl:dr - Make safari tabs movable like apps on iOS devices.
Any thoughts?

ICloud safari tabs on multiple devices

I've used iCloud tabs on Safari succesfully when I had and iMac and and iPhone. Now I am the lucky proud owner of of and iPad too.
On my Mac I can see iCloud tabs for my iPhone.
On the iPad I can see tabs for my iMac
On the iPhone I can see tabs for my iMac
This is such a useful function when working between different devices but is there any way of seeing the tabs open on both of the other two devices. I can't see any way of switching or viewing both.
I've just upgraded to Mavericks to see if that would help, but it's still the same.
I've been through the troubleshooting and turned off the safari settings for the devices and restarted them but still no joy.
Any suggestions anyone?

Hi Angela,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iCloud Tabs are not consistent between your Mac and your devices, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Can remotely close Safari tabs on Macbook but not iPhone/iPad.

I am unable to remotely close iCloud Safari tabs on my mobile devices. iPhone and iPad are running iOS 8, and my Macbook Pro is running Yosemite. I can remotely close tabs from my Macbook, but when I try to swipe to delete iCloud tabs from my iPhone or iPad, I swipe, the red delete button shows up, but then I tap delete and nothing happens - the tab stays there and is still open on the original device.

I have been experiencing the exact same problems. Any help is appreciated!

I want to open new tabs with other ones open. So I click the + button for tabs and it does nothing. I right click and click new tab and still nothing. How do I get that feature to work again.

I click the + button to open a new tab and it doesn't do anything, not even open a new tab. I try to right click and open a new tab and still don't work. But if I right click a link and click open in new tab it will work. How do I get to open my tabs again with the + button?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Opening SQL tab of other's user schema reports error

Hi,
I just try to open the SQL table tab to get the SQL script of a table, and it only works when the schema is owned by the user. If you try to open SQL tab on another user table it reports:
ORA-31603: object "COM_BANK" of type TABLE not found in schema "PROVIS_OWN"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 653
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 1260
ORA-06512: at line 1
I can access that table through a synonym and grants.
Server is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - 64bit Production
I am using 2.1 of Oracle SQL Developer.
Thanks in advance,

This is a reported issue, but I'm not sure it will be fixed in the upcoming patch. You can try searching the forum.
As workaround, you'd need more permissions (don't know which exactly; the DBA role works for me).

Seeing open tabs on other devices

I cannot seem to connect either my iPad or iPhone to the iCloud in such a way in where i can see their open tabs in safari on my macbook.

I have the same problem, though I do now have OS 6.0 on both my iPad and iPhone. Any suggestions?

Safari how do i know which are my open Safari tabs in several windows?

Hi and good day,
It happens frequently that I have several windows open in Safari and in Chrome.
… and with a few tabs windows each.
My question:
How can I find a specific open page, which is somewhere on a tabbed window beneath other windows?
Is there an app to help?
It’s easier of course no problem with 'non-tabbed' windows, as the title will be displayed by the browser.
Hope this makes sense, and it is not unimportant for the workflow :-)
with best regards,

I'm not sure what you mean . . . what won't work with Lion? It sounds like it did do some backups.
Is there a way or an app to know which are Lion snapshots?
There is a way, but it's rather cumbersome. You have to start selecting a full system restore; there's a window showing all of the backups and the version of OSX.
Is there an app I could use to manage the snapshots if manually deleting them will cause problems and side effects later.
It's best to use the Time Machine "Star Wars" display to delete backups, but you really shouldn't have to. Let's figure out what's wrong first.

HT5372 iCloud tabs open all tabs from another device in 1 session

Can i open the icloud tabs on my ipad as a folder on safari mac rather than open them one by one into individual tabs?

Thanks, Julian,
Sorry, but I think you misunderstood. I'm aware that I need to have iOS 6 on my iPhone or iPad to view iCloud Tabs.
I think I should have been more clear. The issue I am having is that I am not able to view the iCloud Tabs on my iMac and Macbook Pro.
For example, if I am viewing a website on my iPhone, with Moutain Lion I should be able to pick up where I left off on my iMac or Macbook Pro by clicking on the iCloud Tab Button in Safari, as demonstrated. When I click on the iCloud Tab Button, the Cloud is blank. I just get the generic statement "iCloud automatically shows all the open tabs on all your devices."
My Apple ID is the same on my iPhone, iPad, iMac and Macbook Pro. I can't understand why this feature doesn't work as advertised. I have also followed all the troubleshooting steps in Support.
Again, thank you for your help.
