(Whiteboard: [sync:tabs])

After some problems with sync, i ended up with two desktop profiles using the same "Computer name". Interestingly, depending on where I was looking from (first profile, second profile, or a mobile device running fennec), I wasn't seeing the same tabs under that computer name. For each desktop profile, I was (quite logically) seeing the other, and from the mobile device, I was seeing the first desktop profile only, not both.
