The first thing you need is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/accounts\/?utm_source=blog.mozilla.org&#038;utm_campaign=firefox_frontier&#038;utm_medium=referral\">Firefox Account<\/a>. It\u2019s your ticket to a quick and easy access to synced tabs, saved passwords and more. All built with your privacy and needs in mind. Once you have your account and you\u2019re signed in on the devices you want to use, you\u2019re ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>Open a page on one screen, send it with a tap and you can view it instantly on any of your synced devices. Have a windows machine and an iPhone? No problem. Whatever device you have Firefox on, you can send tabs between all of them.<\/p>\n<p>On your phone or tablet you can also send tabs from apps to your browser. Click through to something you want to read later when you\u2019re on Twitter? Just select share and then Firefox. It\u2019s sent to your browser instantaneously and is encrypted from end to end.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Firefox - Send tab\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5jk1B8v2j_Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure you&#8217;ve signed in to<a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/access-mozilla-services-firefox-account\"> \u00a0your Firefox Account<\/a> first.<\/p>\n<p>1.
