Sync open tabs #41

Closed Gunkev closed 4 months ago

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

Synchronization of open tabs

Why is it a problem?

Some user may like to switch from one device to another due to portability or domestic problems like low battery or even because of a phone crash. If any of this happens a user as me will like to continue my work directly from where the incident happened on another device.

How would you solve the problem? What is your design proposal?

An idea is to synchronize all open tabs to other devices such that if an incident happens, I will switch to another device and continue my work while the other device I will using previously is been taken in charge. First of all when sign-in in I will automatically sign-in in other Firefox accounts. When finally signed-in I will toggle the "synchronize with open tabs on other devices" so that each tab I open equally opens in other devices.

How would you measure your designs effectiveness?

I will measure ;y design effectiveness base on user feedback and from general team point of views.

Makes a lot of sense.

Do you think it's important to indicate to users that certain tabs are synced from another device?

Thanks very much @topotropic. I think that point is important too and Good to indicate since it will permit user to know when did they use a particular device if they are found to be in some unknown condition
