From Mozilla’s documentation: “Firefox View does not appear in Private Browsing windows”.

All of Tor Browser’s windows are Private Browsing windows, ergo this feature is not available.

I wonder if this was always the case, as we also manually disabled Firefox View in Tor Browser 13.0.

Originally, Tab Pickup (now called “Tabs from other devices”) was the lead feature for Firefox View, which requires the user to be signed into a Mozilla account. However Mozilla accounts aren’t compatible with Tor Browser, and it seemed strange to retain the feature just to have an entire screen dedicated to recently closed tabs.
