Is the tab groups feature supposed to save the groups as I lose mine each time I close Firefox?

The tab group feature seems to work as advertised in each session, but the groups are not saved after a re-start. Is this a design feature? If so it reduces its usefulness to almost zero if I still need to save all the urls as bookmarks as well.

Are you clearing your recent history when you close Firefox?

Firefox stores tab group details in the same file that stores details of browsing sessions. Make sure that you have not set Firefox to delete browsing history. For details of the setting to check see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History

Hello TonyE, thanks for the suggestion, but I have now selected Firefox to remember all history but it still doesn't remeber the tab groups - any more ideas?
