Try unpining and pining everything back up, it was an issue before with the database. Also, make sure you dont have anything installed like sine.

Hi, @calrsg. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You reported that in Zen browser 1.15.1b on Windows x64, tabs inside collapsed folders disappear after restarting, though they remain in closed tabs history.
  • This issue does not occur in Firefox and happens without any mods or custom CSS applied.
  • Contributor mr-cheffy suggested unpinning and repinning tabs as a possible workaround and recommended checking for extensions like Sine that might interfere.
  • The problem seems related to tab management and how the database handles tabs on restart.
  • No resolution has been reached yet.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of the Zen browser by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
  • If I don’t hear back within 10 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
