A good thought, Dave, but no change.
I did get a chance to test it in XP. SAME BUG but it syncs pretty much everything. I manually add 17 settings that should sync, IMHO.
My notes follow so read at your own risk.
New findings 11/24/14
A third and forth tab... same error. Tried 4 total tabs.
The new tab title is the new page. Only the page appearance is the original page.
Closing the 1st/original tab and the second tab displays properly and becomes the 1st tab.
However, subsequent tabs again display the 1st tab's content!
Links work on these phantom tab displays.
But this is interesting... if I click a link in any tab, all tabs switch!
Opening a link in new window operates normally.
Interesting sequence:
Disable HTBW1T followed by complete restart.
Set the 1-Tab setting in CTR and instantly, things operate normally. No error.
Restart the browser and the fun begins.
Completely uninstalling HTBW1T changes nothing.
Windows XP
Fx Sync removed HTBW1T. Restart.
CTR is at 1.2.3
Operation is normal but CTR Hide 1 Tab does NOT work, several restarts to confirm.
Saved pictures H1T_XP_1-5
Update CTR to 1.2.6.1
Operates perfectly H1T_XP_6-7
Restart Fx
SAME BUG!!! H1T_XP_8-13
Dang! missed opportunity to test CTR 1.2.3 - wrong setting tried (Tab Close).
Xubuntu 14.04
SAME BUG!

Ubuntu Mate 14.10
SAME BUG!
Hadn't been setup so set up with sync from scratch.
This means it NEVER SAW HTBW1T.
