Sync open tabs - Rupali

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

Sync Open tab issue

Why is it a problem?

To understand the problem, we have to follow the user flow of the existing Mozilla Firefox browser.
Existing User Flow:
In the desktop browser
Menu >> Library >> synced tabs>>synced devices
Profile >> Synced tabs

In the mobile browser
If at home
History >> Synced devices >> Synced tabs
While browsing
Menu >> History >>Synced devices >> Synced tabs

Problem :
-To perform a certain task user have to follow two different paths in different devices. It can result in confusion.
-Synced tabs are grouped under History but it's an open tab in another device. The user might get confused.
--History Not relative to synched tabs
--Number of clicks increased
-The library is hidden in the menu. So, synced tabs in the library can be ineffective.

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

-Target: Simplifying the UX, Accessible in 2-3 clicks
-As synched tabs are the active tabs (open tabs), could be grouped under Open tabs.
-New User Flow
--If at home
Open tabs drop-down >> device selected >> open tabs of the selected device
While browsing
Tabs >>Open tabs drop-down >> device selected >> open tabs of the selected device
Following are the proposed design screens
Home screen

Open drop down

Interesting approach! Thanks for sharing.

I'm curious to learn how you would onboard new users – don't have an account and haven't set it up – to the sync tab feature.

@topotropic Thank you for the feedback. To onboard new users, we can take the following approach :
We can work on providing user more information, how syncing tabs can be effective for there browsing and working experience.

Case 1 - New user( newly installed Firefox preview )
Providing useful information along with sign-in button on how syncing can make working more efficient.
Informative graphics can increase the conversion rate as a user might not go through text.

A minimal informative graphic in chrome :

Case 2 - User not signed in/up & Case 3 - User not synched with other devices
When user is not signed in, a Turn on sync option in the sidebar, only on home screen, can be given.

Also, When a user clicks on the drop-down menu against Open tabs, a turn on Sync option.
