Tab Groups Lost After Crash, Only Old Saved Versions Appear

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with tab groups in Firefox.

  • I use multiple tab groups in my browser.
  • Normally, if I close the browser (without manually saving the groups), Firefox restores everything exactly as it was when I reopen it including all my tab groups and their current tabs.
  • However, if Firefox crashes while the groups are open, I run into a problem: 
 * When I restart Firefox after the crash and try to open my tab groups, all the recent tabs are missing.
 * Instead of restoring the most recent state of the tab groups, Firefox loads an old, manually saved version from the past.
 * Any recent changes to the tab groups are completely lost.

This has happened multiple times now.

    • System Info:**
  • Firefox version: 141.0 (64-bit)
  • OS: Windows 11

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions to prevent this data loss after crashes. Is there a way to make Firefox auto save tab group states more frequently, or restore the most recent session even after a crash?

NVM I restored my old tabs and groups window

here it is how i restored it so that if anyone is having the same problem as me:

1. Click on button (the one with three lines) at top right of the window, 2. click on history -> recently closed windows 3. Open the window you just lost.
