Firefox Tab Reloader not saving tab reload options anymore

On FF 120.0.1 and Tab Reloader 0.6.1

I have FF set up with 7 tabs as home page, 6 of the tabs have tab reloader set to reload ever 1 hour. This has worked fine for years, the tab reload for the 6 tabs were saved after restarting FF. I didn't have to go back and tell tab reloader to reload after restarting FF. Maybe once and a while one tab didn't get the reload saved on a restart, usually always the same one.

Now when I restart FF none of the tabs have saved the setting to reload every 1 hour.

This has been going on for the last 2 releases of FF updates and there hasn't been any updates for tab reloader. Does anyone know why this is happening, I haven't changed anything in settings. I did uncheck hardware acceleration to see if that would fix another issue, but tabs weren't reloading after restart prior to that change on hardware accelation.

The tab reload interval is remembered across restarts for me as long as "Open previous windows and tabs" is enabled. Older versions of Firefox behave the same.

You could try removing the extension, restarting the browser and then reinstalling it.

I did that will see how it works. It would stop reloading some tabs even if I just disabled it then re enabled it. Wouldn't stop reloading all 6, just maybe a couple. Anyway, I removed it, restarted FF and then downloaded again. Will see how things go.

Didn't make any difference, sometimes none of the tabs save the reload and sometimes all but 2 save the reload time. I do have "Open previous windows and tabs" as enabled which is the first one under the General setting.
