User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0
Steps to reproduce:
I created a Firefox Sync account on my laptop using Firefox 67.0.4, then installed Firefox Preview on my phone. I did not have Firefox installed on my phone before this. I connected Firefox preview to my Sync account by scanning a pairing code. History and bookmarks were properly synced.
Actual results:
Several minutes later, I got an email that I have yet to connect another device. My laptop does not show any devices I can send tabs to. https://accounts.firefox.com/settings/clients shows two devices: The one corresponding to my laptop and one called "Firefox Sync" which was last active 10 hours ago. I successfully synced several times in the last hour from my phone.
Expected results:
I expect my phone to show up correctly in the list of devices at the URL mentioned above and I expect to be able to send tabs to it from Firefox running on my laptop. I find it a little worrying that devices can sync with my account without showing up. I expect any device that has recently synced to show up.

Thanks for the report! There are a couple of things to tease apart here.

This seems unexpected, and I wonder if it was a bit of a race between our email-sending logic and your adding of a second device. + :lniolet for context.

Yes, absolutely. This is fixed in https://github.com/mozilla/fxa/pull/1262 but not yet reported to production, but should be available soon.

I believe this is available in the current development version of Firefox Preview but was not yet stable enough for release, so again, should be available soon. +:grisha for any further comment.

https://github.com/mozilla/fxa/pull/1262 has been deployed and Send-Tab should be landing in Fenix soon, so I don't think there's anything else for us to track in this bug. Closing, thanks again for the report!
