I cannot find any tab groups that I created over last 2 weeks. It means that I lost at least a few days of looking for pages with articles, which will not find now easily.

I have enabled the option in general settings of restoring from prevous session and I have the option in privacy of tracking the history. More, the history is avalable, but cannot restore the tabs from last session and the tab groups that I created?

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.

Thanks, Unfortunately still don't know what to do in particular to get back my previous tab groups of Panorama.

I switched to Session Manager, hopefully this will save me time in the future.
