(YES, I used "Restore Session" & looked in Help....but Tab Group Icon did not appear on first 4 double-clicks on desktop Firefox icon!) ....I have spent 2 hours on setting up Tab Groups and now CAN NOT get to the window that FINALLY has my groups available!!! How do I get rid PERMANENTLY of all the other Firefox panes that DO NOT have my groups icon (right side of pane)...Some of them (first 4 windows opened bookmarks) are as OLD as 2 years ago!...????

Does the "Shift + Ctrl + E" shortcut work or a click on the "List All Tabs" button on the tab bar?

You should see a button on the Tab bar to open the Panorama window.
If not then see if you can find that button in the Customize window.

No, shortcut nor "List All Tabs" does not work! By "the Panorama window" do you mean the Group Tab icon in grey above my Home button?? (Yes, its there!) In my "Correct Tab Group" window, I DO NOT have the red Firefox tab on the right and NO Firefox Menu button. . . YES, it is checked for "tabs on top", ...NO "Add-On Mgr" used or showing, ...Yes, "Menu Bar" is checked, ...Yes, Navigation Toolbar" is checked, ...Yes, "Bookmark Toolbar" is checked in MY CORRECT TAB Group Window! NO, I have not a CLUE on how to do Toolbar Customization!. . .NO, I have NO "Bookmark BUTTON" as shown in your example. Now what? ....Please be very specific what steps to take (I am a Newbie to this whole process!) Thank you! Jana

Tab Groups may not be working if you use an extension that hides some specific (context) menu entries.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).


You only see the orange Firefox menu button if the Menu bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or right click empty space on a toolbar; Firefox > Options)


What do you mean with:

Some of them (first 4 windows opened bookmarks) are as OLD as 2 years ago!

Are that tabs (windows) that you want to see or do you have a problem with closing those windows to make them no longer appear?
