Restore “Open All Tabs” in Synced Tabs – Critical for Cross-Device Workflow

Francois2 — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 06:43:22 GMT

Hello Mozilla team,

I love Firefox. However I would like to report a serious regression in the latest versions of Firefox: the “Open All Tabs” option has disappeared from the Synced Tabs panel.

This feature was essential for anyone using Firefox Sync as a real cross-device session manager. Being able to open all tabs from another device in a single click made it easy to switch computers and continue working seamlessly.

Now, the only option is to manually open each tab one by one, which is frustrating and unproductive — especially when 30, 50, or more tabs need to be restored. This makes Firefox Sync far less practical than it used to be.

I would strongly encourage you to restore a one-click “Open All Tabs” option (or at least a “Select All” option) in the Synced Tabs view or sidebar. This is not just a convenience feature — it is a key part of why many of us use Firefox across devices in the first place.

Thank you for your attention to this issue and for continuing to make Firefox the browser of choice for power users.

Francois

Same problem here since the **bleep**ty and useless "Update". Every UPDATE makes FF worse… and no one seems to care. Also your running the gauntlet if you try to get any support.

100% very disappointed to see this feature removed, used it all the time to manage tabs between mobile and laptop. just add an option to right-click on the device in the sidebar and "open all in new tabs" as previous

Yeah, this really needs to be restored. Clicking on one tab-link at a time is a real drag.

Yes, definitely the option lo open all the tabs from another device needs to be restored. It's absurd to remove something like that.

Workaround: Disable the new sidebar by going to Settings > General > Browser Layout and unchecking "Show sidebar" to revert to the old design where the feature Open All Tabs exists!!

Restoring the “Open All Tabs” feature in Synced Tabs is really important for people who work across multiple devices. It saves time and keeps the workflow smooth, especially for creators and editors who often switch between phone and desktop.

In the mobile video editing niche, productivity features like this help creators manage their resources and tutorials more efficiently. Many editors working with the Alight Motion App rely on cross-device access to keep their projects, guides, and editing ideas organized.

Their intention seems to be to destroy everything that is good and simple, like open all tabs and share all tabs.

Restoring the “Open All Tabs” feature in synced tabs is really important for maintaining a smooth cross-device workflow, especially for creators who switch between mobile and desktop while working on projects. Having quick access to all tabs helps save time and keeps everything organized. For those creating tutorials or productivity videos around features like this, clean screen recordings, smooth transitions, and clear highlights can make the explanation much easier to follow. Many creators also rely on tools like the Alight Motion app to add motion text, zoom effects, and polished visuals, and you can explore helpful editing resources to enhance the overall quality of such workflow-based content.
