I've tried many of the add-ons suggested online and still cannot find a solution.

I would like to save a Firefox session and be able to re-open that same session with my tab-groups still in tact as from the previous session. Of the many options I've explored, the only option is to bookmark the session ... but all tabs open up in the same tab-group, not at different tab groups.

Additionally, all tabs open and load at once ... whereas when you usually bookmark and open a folder of saved tabs, the only tab that loads will be the one that the window first opens to; not all the tabs at once.

I think many users may use multiple Windows each with Firefox tabs open. that is one method of grouping tabs together.

Some users will keep dozens of tabs open between sessions by that method. I know also some users use hundreds of tabs like that but it may start to become problematic as the numbers rise.

There is a built in method of grouping tabs: Use Tabs Groups (I believe the feature is no longer actively being developed, it is hidden away in the customise palette now.) You will need to drag to the icon to somhere such as the toolbar or menu so it may be used.

For detailed instructions with screenshots see

Presumably you already have set Firefox to open with tabs and windows from a previous session'
