When I send multiple tabs to my Android device (e.g. from my desktop), I have to select each one of those tabs individually from the notification area to open them in Firefox Android.  This is tedious and frustrating. 

Can the behavior be changed, or an option be included, to open all received tabs simultaneously? 

Here is an example of the use case: during the day I might come across 10 web pages I want to read, but I can't read them at the time because I'm working.  I send them to my Android device at the end of the day to read them in bed.  I have to select each web page individually, that's 10 times, to open them on my Android device.  I want to tap on the notification 1 time and have all 10 web pages open in Firefox Android.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Ideally, sent tabs should open automatically on the other device - as they already do when you send them from Android to Desktop. Having to tap on each notification is really cumbersome.

Agree with the comment of anqtobit. But if his idea is implemented, at least the one from OP would be great.

Just to add to this, I've seen it happen more and more recently that when I send multiple tabs to my Android device from my desktop, and I then try to open those tabs from the notification area on my Android device, the 1 tab I select opens but all the other disappear! There's no way to get them back, so I have to go back to my desktop and resend them to the Android device.  So this is yet another reason why an "Open all" type function is not just a nice-to-have, but almost a necessity.
