I had about 250 open tabs and they just disappeared and I can’t retrieve them. By any chance is there any way that you have a record of what I’ve searched. I never saved them in my history and was bookmarking them slowly until last night when they just disappeared. And this is the second time it’s actually happened

Is there any way that Firefox can send me my search history so I can find the missing tabs. And why does it happen

In the Hamburger menu > History there may be a history of the sites open in the tabs before the crash. See Search your browsing history in Firefox for iOS for further information.

As for why it happens, 250 tabs is a lot of open tabs, particularly for an iOS device. It wouldn't surprise me if you may be reaching the limit of available memory on your iOS device. I would suggest using bookmarks feature (as you have indicated you were doing, but should you need further information please see How to add, remove, edit and move bookmarks in Firefox for iOS ) or a third-party service such as Pocket (which is owned by Mozilla, makers of Firefox).
