Tabs From Other Computers Listing Old Sessions?

Hi guys.
Tabs From Other Computers displays tabs from my MacBook. They are listed as 2 separate computers with the same name. One has my current tabs the other has tabs from 6 months ago.
I deleted sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. The old tabs are still displayed.
Any ideas?

If I look at tabs from other computers while on my MacBook, the old MacBook session is listed.

Reformatted a hard drive, but it still shows up in "Tabs From Other Computers." How do I remove it?

I recently reformatted the hard drive in a PC and did not unlink from sync account prior to doing so. The machine continues to be present when i pull down the menu option "Tabs From Other Computers"., even though I have not installed Firefox on the fresh hard drive. How do I remove it from the list?

Hi!
Unfortunately this is not possible at this stage. If this is something that bothers you, the next time you format a hard drive or, in general, want to remove a device from that view you should "Unlink this device" from the Sync Tab in the Preferences window.
Because you can't go back to that specific profile of Firefox you can't do it, but don't worry, eventually it will disappear (the servers don't store the information forever).
If you really want to remove it, you will need to reset the account and plug all your devices again. To do so, you will need to reset the Recovery key and set up the account in your computer again. This is the process that we recommend when a device is lost. Make sure that you have a backup of your information before proceding: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Replace%20your%20Sync%20information Replace your Sync Information]
And to learn how to back up your profile, follow this link: [[Backing up your information]]
I hope it helps.

Tabs from deactivated device still show up in "Tabs from other computers"

After deactivating a device, its tabs still show up under "Tabs from other computers". How do I delete the data left over from that device?
More importantly, if I now choose to sync Preferences, will Preferences from the deactivated device be imported (which I wish to avoid)?

This is Bug 582662, which we should be implementing some time in the next few months.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582662
The records themselves should eventually disappear as they expire on the server, or you can forcibly remove them by using Reset Sync (replacing other devices) on the client whose you want to keep. There are less drastic solutions, but they require prodding at the internals of Sync through the Web Console.
If you turn on Preferences syncing, the prefs on your local device will be merged with prefs that were synced to your sync account. The only way that will include prefs from the deactivated device is if you first synced prefs from that device.

"Tabs from other computers" option in history is disabled, even though I had setup sync properly.

I had setup my sync on my ubuntu at home and windows at office and ticked the tab options to be true but when I open my FF at office I open history menu but the "Tabs from other computers" is disabled not allowing me to see tabs from my home pc.
Also in sync settings when I change the name of machine it is not getting saved.

They should show up until they're closed and that device syncs. If this is not happening,
* How do I turn on sync logs:
# Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
# Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
# Logs and error messages will be located here
Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharring any errors that relate to this issue.
Thank you.

I cannot find how to open tabs from other computers.

Both of the computers have been set to sync tabs, and they seem to sync bookmarks and history fine. I am using Beta 4 Version 7.

Never mind, despite the program saying that it is in the History submenu, it is in the Tabs menu. Also, it can be gotten to using "about:sync-tabs". (Minus quotes.)

When I use "tabs from other computers," some of the tabs from the other computer show (7/11) and others don't, and going the other way, it keeps showing some tabs that have been closed.

Desktop is running Windows XP and laptop is using Windows 7. Both have the latest version of Firefox.
I press the Synch buttom before I press the "show tabs" button.

I think I may have solved the problem. I cleared the cache, and then the old tabs no longer appeared. I think the ones that weren't showing were tabs that were already on the other computer.
Haven't yet checked thoroughly.
I can't upgrade easily because I have HughesNet, which limits downloads. Last time I downloaded Windows upgrade to my laptop, I went over the limit and got slowed down to slower than dial-up. And as mentioned in question, I *did* press Synch Now before asking for tabs.
Also, if I did all the upgrades that various pieces of software want me to do, I'd have no time to get any work done.
But thanks for the ideas.

Open tabs on other computers

Dear sirs c.q. ladies,
After setting up Sync on several computers, all using Firefox 4.01, I get a welcome screen stating;
"Your open tabs are available under the History menu. You can also open them via the 'Tabs from Other Computers' option in the Tab List menu on your tab bar."
However, I cannot find the "Tab List menu" on my tab bar. I would be grateful if you could direct me to it.
Thanks, Jos

Hi Joshout!
The option you are looking for shows up when you click on the small arrow that you can find in the right top corner of your browser.
I'm including an screenshot that should help you.

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.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the open tabs on other computers?

I know that you can click the arrow on the right of the tab bar to access the tabs from other computers, but is there a keyboard shortcut for it, or another way to access it?

And then, you can switch groups by CTRL+` (grave accent, since my kb is portuguese, I have to do CTRL+ SHIFT + ´) or CTRL+~ (tilde)

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. 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.

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.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

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!

Is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network?

is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network? we have a computer running itunes connected to our speakers here at work, and we'd like to be able to control it through the other comptuers on the network. is this possible, or do you have to use iphones/ipads/etc?

AC is corret you can do that. It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.
