If you use firefox sync you can set it to not sync tabs by default, only send tabs when you want, which would fit you usecase.
Yeah I'm sure this is a rare use case - just sending them over to the desktop straight away via sync is way faster. I also browse differently on my phone than on my desktop, but I don't see how linking the devices hampers that in any way.
(In fact, I don't think it "syncs" tabs in the first place, as in, makes sure you have the same tabs open on both devices? It just makes a list of tabs on your other devices available, and allows you to manually send individual tabs.)
