I have many tabs on my home page. I have organized into 6 groups but am unable to save them as home pages (lose all groups and tabs) on closing. How do I save my 6 groups and set as my home page. What am I doing wrong?

There is not much more to say. I manage about 60 tabs (very nicely thx) and I want to group them and save as my home pages (Home Groups?) so I can take advantage of the groupings. As rule I open with a blank page then hit the home button. I would like to see my groups and select based on need. I have set them up twice and saved to home page. Once I restart they are all gone except the last page I was viewing. Appreciate you help.

Thx Steve

Perhaps your problem is that you must save your browsing history in order to use app-tabs that would apply to groups as well but I did not test.

I would suggest that if you do not save that stuff in bookmarks, that you will probably have a serious problem soon and lose your tabs, so if you count on them you could lose them. They should stand up to repeated restarts but I would not count of them as app-tabs myself, for one thing it is new, the other is I have to frequently wipe them out and restart, because I actively open new content into them and go back to the beginning of the tab history, and sometimes I can't, and sometimes I lose them by accidentally closing them -- and I must be able to close them in all manners that I close other tabs or I wouldn't be using them.

There are people who keep 200 tabs open through restarting, that is not for me, I try to clear out the tabs frequently.


That is what app-tabs are for as opposed to home pages, but I did have a problem when I tested with 120 since as app-tabs only about 65 can be seen at once even though I did reduce the width of app-tabs to about 2/3 the size that they were.. Problem I had when I restarted was that the window enlarged a bit beyond the screen, and my tab counter disappeared until I reduced the count to about 65. I do not allow tabs to scroll so you probably wouldn't have that problem.

I forgot to test home page with 60 tabs. I do have something set to 75 though have to check that. I tested with 60 pages as home page. Brought firefox down and backup with the 1 app-tab and 60 home pages the app-tab is the same size as the 60 normal tabs from home page.

Never used group-tabs by choice, since they messed me up I stay clear of them, I don't like them or anything large panoramic type of large thumbnails.

Hi thx for taking the time to reply. I will try and reply in sequence as per your note. I do not keep history as a matter of general housekeeping but would try it to see if it helps. I do book mark the pages I use as home pages for all 3 of my machines by right clicking a tab and selecting "Bookmark all tabs", this is how I recover after the failed attempts to group the tabs. This is a life saver when you have 60 tabs. Restarting Firefox itself has not caused any problems with home page and as I said before I open to a blank page so I do not always need to suffer thru opening all those pages when not wanted. I keep my home pages reasonably current by saving them frequently. I do however mess them up thru changes frequent enough. I recover thru bookmarks as needed. You will find saving 60 plus pages as Home Page works very well. I have been doing this for a couple of years. The many tabs approach for me if like having active files on my real desk. Before closing and losing the grouped tabs I liked it very much. It is a great way to separate many active projects into manageable chunks. Not sure we have got to a solution here yet. Appreciate your input.
