I think this is a duplicate of bug 2044651. I have a plan there to disable the option when multiple tabs are selected. If I can't get that finished in the next week or so, we might have to live with the option being there but only the foreground tab getting the QR code generated with the dialog. What do you think about that, Daniel?

Disabling this option for multiple links sounds like the best bet but I don't think the current flow feels terribly broken. Thumbs up to what Andrew said. We are also close to releasing a feature that will allow users to share multiple links at once (example below). We could combine these two features down the road.

Here's an example: https://share.firefox.com/Qik6ZuPJrv (will expire in 7 days)
