[question] I was wondering, can I save tab groups?
Hello,
Is it possible to save tab groups, specifically, save open websites for later use? I'd like to create a tab group, name, open a few sites, then save and recall it later?
What do you mean save tab groups? The groups are already stored in your session so you can close Firefox and the groups will still be there when you open it up again later. If you mean you want to be able to close the tab group and then save it for later, pretty sure this is already done by bookmarks.
For example, one work flow would be:
- Create a tab group
- Open any tabs you want in that tab groups
- Click the first tab, Ctrl+Shift+the last tab to select all the tabs (or right click and "Select all tabs" if you have no pinned tabs)
- Click bookmark all tabs.
You can then save a specific tab group and open it in a fresh tab group later. That's probably the closest you can get unless I misunderstood your question. We can maybe work on something in the future if there's something else you wanted.
The problem, when I close Firefox and re-open? I have to re-create the tab groups? Bookmarking is okay, although the bookmark feature firefox I use is only the tool bar. I have to spend some time learning how bookmark group of tabs and organize.
EDIT: E.g, the name of group tabs, not the tabs with them in. So I don't have to constantly, move tab groups around because it doesn't remember their places. Rename the tab groups, every time I use Panorama?
You shouldn't need to rename the groups every time you open and close Firefox either. The names should be saved and will still be there when you start Firefox again.
Honestly, I'm not sure, because I use containers too and it hasn't caused any issues for me. You could try disabling all your add-ons and seeing if it works then. If it still doesn't, the best bet is to reset your firefox and see if it still occurs. For me (and other computers I've tried it on), groups and their names persist after restarting Firefox by default.
I'm going to test different Distributions with default profile. I just haven't had a chance to get to it.
Hi, I'm having the same issue and it looks like the tab groups are only remembered if Firefox is set to "Restore previous session" at Startup (which is a setting I don't use). Does that make sense? Could there be a way to have the same functionality in the addon without having to use the "Restore previous session" setting?
I was referring to the ability for the addon to remember the number of active groups, their names and arrangement without having to restore the tabs themselves at every boot. Sorry for hurting your sensibility and causing you stress and anger with a simple information request.
The idea was not having to manually create and position the groups I use every time I launch Firefox; even just having the addon start with two groups, the default one and an additional empty one, would be good... maybe I should open a new issue in the form of a feature suggestion?
Hello.
Maybe this is a proper topic for my question too: after Windows crash I restart Firefox and found, that I lost all my tab-groups (6-8 groups and ~220 tabs). Firefox is started with one "groups" (last opened before crash). Other tabs are hidding. In panorama-tab-groups don't see tab-groups (rather I see one default group with no tabs). So, how I can restore all my tab-groups? Or how I can move my opened tabs to new tab-groups?

Exactly
I'm just confused. What is your use case? You can save current state with "Save backup" button in options.
That's beside the point of the issue, either it's not working as intended which would explain the point of Save backup or are you suggesting that I should import my saved backup every time I launch Firefox?

If you do, can you ref this issue?

I'm assuming you didn't have a saved backup?

Still ongoing.
@lhorace when you go to your Firefox preferences and then in General->Startup do you have "Restore previous session" checked? This addon will only work if your previous session is saved and restored since the addon data is stored in the session data. There's no other way around this unfortunately. That's probably where your problem lies.
Sorry it's been a long time, yes 'Restore from previous session' works fine.
