I installed a new Linux OS on my system and saved the .mozilla/firefox folder so I can later recover any settings I could lose.

Now I realized I lost all my group tabs after reinstalling, and thought maybe I can recover them from my backed up .mozilla folder.

Does anyone know where I can find the settings for group tabs in the .mozilla folder? (I don't want to copy the entire backup folder over my current folder)

Thanks, Claudiu

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.
