Should Tab Groups auto-save through a restart?

russkirk

When Firefox 4 closes, I don't get a dropdown asking if I want to save my tabs. That was something I did have in Firefox 3.6. Now that we have Tab Groups, twice now I've had to close Firefox 4 due to freezes (another separate issue) and once I've closed it just to reboot my Mac-Mini running OSX 10.6.7. All three times, my tab groups were gone when I restarted Firefox 4.

I do have the option checked for "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and my tab groups still disappear.

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Browsing History"

For reasons I can't begin to fathom, my tab groups just survived a 'force quit' during a restart.
