In bug 2046790 we introduced a new workflow where a user is able to view all their devices in the account menu and open a sub menu with the option to send the current tab to that device, if available. It appears some users are not seeing their devices. We should fix this as a priority as with this regression there is no way to send a tab to a device.

Thoughts - it may be that the device list used in the regressing bug doesn't contain all devices.

Merge lists of devices with "send tab to device" capability and devices with remote tabs.

Verified as fixed using the latest Nightly 155.0a1 on Ubuntu 24.04, macOS 26 and Windows 11 - the devices are now displayed in the Secure sync section.

While verifying this issue I came across some issues with the X button from the Recent tabs menus, I logged Bug 2057197 and Bug 2057212.
