More than a few time I created Tab Groups, named them and worked with them successfully. But each time after I closed Firefox session and signed off the browser and then later started Firefox session again (turned on Firefox again), I cannot goback to the Tab groups I created in the prior session. Is that normal? Is there a way to save Tab Groups for later use?

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

I cannot get Tab Groups to "Save" when closing Firefox 7.0.1. I have Privacy set to "Remember History" & startup set to open my home page, but Tab Groups always go away. The utility of using them is definitely lost if I have to re-create them each session. If it doesn't work correctly please fix it, OR if I just don't understand how to do it, PLEASE help me with what I'm doing wrong. I just want to create Tab Groups, close FF & have them available when I re-start FF.

Thanks ... Breck
