Is it just me or was this already available in Firefox at some point in history?

I seem to remember I used to be able to send an open tab on my Android phone to my desktop Firefox, but that option later disappeared with some update.

Edit: It sounds a lot like the "send to device" add-on mentioned in another comment. Was this bundled with Firefox for Android at some point?

This feature appears and disappears randomly and it has me demented. Much of the time it works, and I am definitely signed in to FF Sync on desktop and mobile at all times. But that Firefox icon just vanishes for weeks at a time from my mobile browser. I even tried sending a tab from desktop to mobile recently (to troubleshoot) and it arrived over 24 hours later as a notification. Still no way to send tabs back to the desktop at the moment though, and all I can do is hope it reappears some day.

I see it in the menu on top right, and on android share dialog. Always worked in general, though with frustratingly long delays at times.
