I'm using Google voice to text to write this so where it says current job it should say current tab

I was able to uninstall and restore my previous version of Firefox. This allows me to send a tab . I updated once again to see if it was a one time issue and it is not.

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, we removed it temporarily as we touch it up as we weren't pleased with the user experience surrounding it. We will be tracking it for a future release.

See bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002628 where we will soon discuss our touch-ups for the feature.

Thank you. I'm glad you are resolving the issues with it because I found it was not working to my satisfaction. It kept offering to send the tab to my current device that I was sending from. Whereas before it presented a pre check box only for my other synchronized device.
