985937 - Tabs from other devices is only showing the first three tabs from the other device or profile

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[Andrei Vaida [:avaida]]

This issue is reproducible with the latest Beta (Build ID: 20140318013849) [1], all platforms.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox with a new profile.
2. Click on the menu button and select "Sign in to Sync".
3. Sign in with a Firefox Account.
4. Open at least 5 websites in different tabs and then initiate a sync (make sure "Tabs" is checked in Options > Sync menu first).
5. Launch Firefox with a 2nd clean profile and sign in with the same Firefox Account.
6. After the initial sync is completed, access the menu bar > History > Tabs From Other Devices.

Expected result:
The "Tabs From Other Devices" (about:sync-tabs) page opened in the 2nd profile/device is displaying all the tabs currently opened in the 1st profile/device.

Actual result:
The "Tabs From Other Devices" page from the 2nd profile/device is only showing the first three tabs from the 1st profile/device.

Each tab on another device needs to be unique.  In other words, TFoD page won't show a tab if the same page is already open in a tab on this device.

That seems to be the case, some of the tabs I had opened at the time on profile A, were also currently opened on profile B. I checked again using completely different websites opened in separate tabs on two profiles and "Tabs From Other Devices" displays the data as expected, thanks Tracy!
