We removed the feature in bug 941744 because we were not happy with the overall experience. We planned to improve the feature in bug 1002628.

Since the release of Fx29, we have had a lot of feedback about the missing feature. We have decided to re-enable the feature but change the name of the Share intent from "Firefox Sync" to "Send Tab to Devices". Both strings are already in the code.

Change this line from &syncBrand.fullName.label; to &sync.title.send.tab.label;

We also need to revert the patches landed in bug 941744.

Handily, 661f96cbf4ce undid the change that turned the feature off:

  Bug 970176 - Part 2: invoke LocaleManager locale switching code prior to handling strings or Locale in background services. r=nalexander

'cos it was never uplifted to a-s. That makes this job a little easier.
This is only needed on Beta and Release due to a happy accident.

I really appreciate the thoughtful response to feedback about this feature. I'm thrilled that it'll be making it back for Fx29. [I'm also excited about the new & improved version being planned.]

Note for the historical record: we'd really like this string to be in sentence case, but we can't do that. (And we probably want a different string anyway: "Send tab to other devices" is a confusing destination for, say, sharing a link from Feedly.)
