The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi jupiterep,
I tried your issue on the latest Nightly 95.0 version and couldn´t reproduce. The "Send tab" button displays and works fine for me.
Please, re-test this on Nightly (you can download it from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and if you do reproduce it attach a screenshot of the issue you describe.
Also, what are the devices you are using for this?
Thanks,
Estanislao

Hi Estanislao, thanks for replying.
I tried the Nightly, don't see the "send to tab" option anywhere.
Images in imgur link at the bottom (one of my regular install showing the button missing [used to be beside the "add to bookmarks" star], the second of the options I see in Nightly)
I googled how to send tabs, and it seems to be different than before, third image; I don't have the option in the context menu either.*
*I remembered while typing that I have a customized userChrome file, so I found that I had removed the send to device option from the context menu. I now do have it, 4th screenshot. BUT I still want the button that used to be beside the "add to bookmarks" star! :(
Fifth image: I don't have the "Page actions" drop-down list that they mentioned, and I'm pretty sure I used to! I don't think my userChrome hid it, I can't find it there.

Hi jupiterep,
Please test this with a new clean profile for Nightly and let me know if you can reproduce it,
Thanks
Hi Estanislao, checked in updated Nightly again, see screenshots, still don't have the button directly on task bar as previously. But from the account button there is a menu for it, much less convenient.

Hi jupiterep,
I understand now that this is an enhancement and also a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1706232
To send your tabs to another device you can just right click on the tab, select "Send tab to device" while being properly logged with your account on both devices.
I´ll close this as a duplicate of 1706232.
Thanks.
Hi Estanislao, I'm not sure what you mean by enhancement, this button used to exist and suddenly disappeared so it must be a bug... or if it was planned, the removal must be documented somewhere. It's much worse to use the workaround method suggested...
