How do I save tab groups (or import/export them)?

I needed to restart FF5 after installing some add-ons and when FF restarted, I was dismayed to find that my tab groups were gone!
Is there a way to save my tab groups so that I can reload them after restarting FF? it would be better if FF simply "remembers" what tab groups were created and reinstated them after a restart.
I LOVE tab groups as a way to organize all of the myriad tabs I fins myself opening as I venture off on a quest for knowledge. TG's can be made even better if there was a way to save, export, and import them (IMHO).

I finally found out how to save my tabgroups! :) Simple, you have to choose exit in archive and NOT press the closebutton (X) up in the corner. Simsalabim, all the groups remains!! :D
It's simple once you know the answer...

Which boxes are currently ticked in Clear Recent History?
*Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
Clear Recent History is not enabled by default, so if it is now then you or an extension did enable that.<br />
If you want to keep using it then you only need to make sure that the "Browsing History" don't have a tick to prevent App Tabs from being removed (App Tabs are considered as history because you visit sites).

How do I save Tab Group that i have created? So that everytime I open Firefox, it will be there for me rather than I have to re-create again.

I have homepage with multiple sites. I like you Tab Groups which enable me to group those sites under particular group. However, I found that the group were gone when i close and open back Firefox.

You can open it back in "about:home" just click "Restore Previous Session" and you will get your group tab back.

How to save Tab groups for later browsing

Can tab groups be saved so that when I launch Firefox next time all previous tabs will be there ?

Identical to others, I do not want to reload all tab groups on restart; however, I strongly desire the ability to save tab groups (beyond just naming & resuming from previous session). My use case is simple. I reboot, switching from Ubuntu to Windows and back multiple times per day on my laptop. I work on multiple projects and would like to associate tab groups with each one. Then I would like to click a button/link, (perhaps in the Ctrl-Shift-E -- Tab Group View) to restore a specific tab group for a project without having to load the 28 other pages which are relevant to other projects... Essentially, I want to bookmark a tabgroup. I would be willing to contribute coding time to this feature, but am unsure as to where to start.

How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

'''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
# If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
# Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
# Select Tab Groups.
# Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
# Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
#A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
# Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
# Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
# DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
# Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
# So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

How much RAM do tab groups use (on average)? Do I need to watch out for how many groups I create?

I may have gone overboard in the creation of Tab Groups. I say this because now my system is beginning to act a bit sluggish. I created 7 groups, two of which have 9 or 10 tabs. Should I pull back on the number of groups I create (as well as how many tab are located within each group). That is: How much RAM do tab groups use. How can I calibrate or understand the trade off between these markers and the amount of RAM they use?

You can see the memory usage on the about:memory page.
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

How do I "save" a calendar before importing it?

How do I "save" a calendar before importing it?

Ghanpoh,
It really depends on what it is, exactly, that you wish to do. There are basically four ways to "save."
1.) As you note, Save, Save_As and Save_as_a_Copy are for saving the Project file ONLY. I posted an article here on the differences amongst the three and why one would choose one over the others.
2.) Archiver - this is accessed from the Toolbar and can "save" the Project with the media files in a couple of forms. This is used when a Project is complete, and one wishes to clear their HDD, but wants an "archived" copy of the Project with all media, in case they have to come back to it later.
3.) Export - this is used to send the edited media to an AV file for play, distribution, etc. It is limited in formats, but is the quickest way to, well "export" you edited file (or part of it, using the WAB [Work Area Bar] to an AV file. Export>Movie is probably the most common.
4.) Share - similar to Export, this is used when on is going to "export" the edited file to another medium, usually a "streaming" medium, like the Web, but also offers a myriad of other formats, like WMV (many flavors), or MOV (again, many flavors).
The choice will be based on what the editor needs and wishes.
Please tell us what you wish to do with your edited material, and someone can suggest the best method for you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why can't I save Tab Groups from one session to the next? When I restart, tab groups are cleared.

Why can't I save Tab Groups from one session to the next? Is there a way to save Tab Groups from the last session to the next time I start up?
Mark Kipperman

Yeah, if this is the way it's supposed to work its a useless and, dare I say, stupid "feature". Wouldn't the whole point of this be to have quick access to groups of pages. If I have to select them each time to create the group what is it doing for me?

How do I save a Group Your Tabs Window? When I create a fresh Group Your Tabs Window it goes away when I close Firefox.

I am currently beta testing Firefox 4.0. I love the Group Your Tabs option but every time I use it I loose what I have created when I close Firefox. How do I save my work?

Hi,
This is not a problem. You just have to go in options, in general tab -> start up options check the "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
This should do the trick. It's not a beta bug or whatever. It's just a preference thing.
Some people do not like having all their tabs opened from last time when they open the browser

How to save Tab Groups in FF5?

The Tab Groups in FF5 seems to be a good feature. But there is no obvious way to save them. I am looking forward for it to replace the two instances currently I use to handle multiple groups.

See:[http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/795591?s=save+tabgroups&as=s this thread]
It's not really a feature of tab groups. I wish tab groups was more like foxtab, with more permanent groups. A kind of visual bookmarks and history.
I guess you could make bookmark folders with all your tabs and turn those into a tab group each time you use it. Not ideal, but it will work.

How can I recover tab groups if I accidentally hit "X" instead of "Exit"?

Hello,
I had about six tab groups open with a total of 100+ tabs and accidentally clicked on the "X" at the top-right (I'm running Windows 7). The entire program closed without warning me that I was closing multiple tabs. When I restarted the program, only my most recent tab group was restored; the rest are gone. As you can imagine, I really want to get the rest of my tabs back.
How can I restore the rest of the tab groups?
Also, how can I make sure that one of following things happens?:
- Disable the "X" button
- Replace the action of the "X" button with the "Exit" function, such that if I accidentally click the "X", Firefox will exit and save all my tabs for the next session
- Enable the warning about closing multiple tabs, before the tabs are all closed
Thank you for your help!

Thank you for the response, cor-el. Yes, I did look in recently closed tabs and windows. However, the recently closed windows section did not contain the tab groups that I had open previously (it only had two pop-up ads which I was not looking for), and the the recently closed tabs section only contained tabs from one of the tab groups.
All of the "restore from last time" and "warn before closing" options were enabled prior to my accidental close-out, but neither option is working as it should.

How do I change tab group order?

I have 3 tab groups. From tab group 1, when I press ---Ctrl + `---, it goes to tab group 2. From tab group 1, when I press ---Ctrl + Shft + `--- it goes to tab group 3. How do I change the order so that when I press ---Ctrl + `--- from tab group 1 it goes to tab group 3 and when I press ---Ctrl + Shft + `--- from tab group 1 it goes to tab group 2? Basically, I would like to change the order of tab groups that the keyboard shortcut goes through.
Thank you.

Don't use them. If you have created a tab group then delete that group.
