Actual results:

This Device doesn't show at all

Expected results:

It should have showed

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

Component: Untriaged → Tabbed Browser

As far as I know, the Synced Tabs sidebar is designed to show tabs from other devices connected to the same Firefox account, but does not include tabs from the current device. Waiting for the developer to confirm the expected behavior here.
I'm moving this to the Sync component, but if this isn’t the most appropriate one, feel free to update it to a more suitable component.

Component: Tabbed Browser → Sync

That's correct, the "synced tabs" sidebar, and list of synced tabs on the main application menu are both limited to only showing tabs from other devices, as the browser already has many affordances for showing tabs currently opened on this device.

We are also about to release a completely revamped sidebar which can be used to show the current tabs if "vertical tabs" are enabled - they will not be in the "synced tabs" section but will be available in the sidebar.
