My tab groups are not being saved
Spend ages setting up groups but they're never there next time I open FireFox. What am I doing wrong??

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.

Thank you but not really what I'm hoping it can do. I thought after setting up several groups (one for all my financials favourites, one for health, one for traffic/roads/weather etc,) I thought I could quickly open that same group of tabs at any time in the future. As soon as I open a group, and then continue working and move to another address in a tab or close one etc, the original Group is NOT being preserved for future use. Hope I explained that better and how can I get it to do this? Thanks
