Just recently when I try to close group tabs it tells me how many total tabs are there. Not just the ones in my current browser. Then when I reopen the browser all the other groups are gone. What can I do? When I open the group tab icon there are 4 different groups it there. For example Facebook, Twitter, Big Brother, and miscellaneous. Use to be when I would close the current browser with Facebook it would just close without telling me how many tabs I was closing. Now it gives me the total of all my tabs. Like when there is another browser window open. I hope this makes sense.

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

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.

I don't understand? It says don't clear recent history. Where do I go to do this? What Firefox button at the top of the screen? I don't see one.
