Tab Groups Missing

Using Firefox 3.6.18, I had several tab groups defined with several web pages in each group. I closed Firefox and my tab groups are gone.
The icon for tab groups is missing from the toolbar and I can't figure out how to get it back. Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+E does nothing. Under Tools, Options, General, the startup option is when Firefox starts, "Show my homepage" and it is greyed out. I have disabled all addons and the problems persist.
I don't understand why this feature just suddenly decided to stop working. I've decided to trust Tab Groups twice now and have been burned both times. This feature is a great feature, but if it is as unreliable as I've found it to be, I can't put my faith in using it.
How do I re-enable Tab Groups on my system, and how do I recover the groups that I had defined?

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.

Tab Groups Button is missing

There used to be a Tab Group Button on the right side of the Firebox tab strip. This is supposed to be right above the List All Tabs arrow. Ever since I upgraded Firefox to 8 it's disappeared. I can get to other tab groups by using the arrow and then selecting Tab Groups, but there used to be an icon that brought this up in one step. How do I get it back?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How do I move multiple tabs into a tab group in one go?

It would be nice if the Tab Group feature would support standard Windows conventions for multi-selection, so I wouldn't have to move tabs between groups only one at a time. If I want to move 20, say, it quickly becomes tedious. Shift-select and CTRL-select should be made available if this feature is to be truly useful.
Please feel free to enlighten me if I've missed some method by which this is currently doable. However, I would still suggest to add the above feature, so it conforms to Windows standards. :-)

As far as I can tell, it doesn't look like this is part of Tab Groups yet. It would definitely make a great feature though! :)

Tabs: previous versions allowed for saving all tabs in a bookmark folder. The new tab groups do not behave this way. How can I save permanent set of tabs as a group that is available later, like the folder of bookmars was?

tabs: previous versions of firefox allowed for saving all tabs with a group name, so you could open them all again later at your convenience. The new firefox 4.0.1 has a new tab feature, but the tab groups do not seem to persist once you shut down, and are not saved as a folder in your bookmarks. What am I missing? How can I do what I want (save permanent set of tabs as a group that is available later, like the folder of bookmarks was)? Thanks

Right click one of the tabs, the "Bookmark all tabs..." option.
Does it do what you want?

In one Firefox window both the "+" sign to add another tab and tab groups symbol have dissappeared. Can't access tab groups nor add tabs anymore.

Both are present in other windows I have open inside of Firefox.
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
FF: version 22.0
All new tabs open in a different window than the one with missing tab groups and "+"-sign even when generated from this window. Closing open tabs does not help.

This could be a problem with an extension that you have installed.<br>
Run Firefox in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs.

Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

Ffox crashed & I accidntlly hit open new sesson instead of restore tabs. Can I get back my tabs and tab groups?

ffox crashed, when the window came up to choose tabs to close, and then restore the remaining tabs, i accidently hit start new session so I lost all tabs and tab groups when the new firefox window opened. In disbelief that this had actually happened, I then closed this new firefox window, and then started firefox again in hopes that it was some sort of fluke, but again it was a new session without any of my old tabs or groups.

Uh oh, you closed and re-opened Firefox. When you start up, Firefox saves your previous session tabs from sessionstore.js to sessionstore.bak, but it's only there until you start up Firefox again, when the backup is replaced. So I don't hold out much hope...
But you could take a look here:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
This will open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA Profile folder). If you look for sessionstore files, you should see at least sessionstore.js (current session) and sessionstore.bak (previous session). You may also see other files with numbers appended to the name.
Copy all of today's files to a safe location (e.g., Documents folder). The strategy is to work through them to see whether they contain anything useful.
Keeping your profile folder open, switch over and exit Firefox. Then delete sessionstore.js and rename sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.js. After restarting Firefox, can you restore the earlier session (using either History > Restore Previous Session, or the button on the built-in Firefox home page)?
If that isn't the correct one, did you find any other sessionstore files that might be a bit older? If so, repeat the process. If not, unfortunately, it's gone, and you'll have to use your memory or Firefox History (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+h) to reconstruct the missing session.
There is an extension named Session Manager that lets you save more than just the one previous session. If you can't live without your list of tabs, you might want to look into it: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/session-manager/].

How do you get FF4 to recall tab groups after browser restart?

I keep creating tab groups (name them) but after I close down Firefox and start it up again the groups are no longer there.
Is this a bug, a feature, or am I missing some kind of "Save Groups" step?

What they need to do is make a way to '''save the group names''' you create so that you can recall a group whenever you want; sort of like how a group/folder of bookmarks would recall.
This way if you are working on multiple projects and you group your tabs by project you can just close the projects you aren't working on at that given moment (rather than leaving hundreds of ''unnecessary-at-the-time'' tabs open for who knows how long).
Then when you're ready to jump back in to that task/project you can just type in the group name or select some flyout to open up all of the relevant tabs.

Ff4 tab group/panorama thumbnails are blank and I can't get to my tab sets!

I have four app tabs and then five sets of tabs. I opened FF with these groups. When I click the tab group icon, it brings up my groups. Each page in each group is blank. Until I click on it, there is no label. When I click, a white box comes up then contracts, back in to place. When it's back in place, the page title is listed, but the 'preview' is missing.
In no case can I get to a page that's not in the primary group.
I switched to FF4 so I wouldn't use my tabs, yet here I am losing tabs again.

How do I use Panorama / Tab Groups with the keyboard?

Yes I know that CTRL-SHIFT-E opens the panorama window, and then I can use the mouse to organize my tabs into groups.
But how do I do this with the keyboard?

That doesn't work for me on my Danish keyboard. (Where the ' and ` chars are weird.

BI Content Tab goes missing in between the Project

Hi Experts,
I have been finding a very strange behaviour in the BI 7 System of late. The BI Content tab has gone missing suddenly and its been more than a week till now. We have been installing and activating BI Objects regularly and suddenly one day its gone blank. I am a Tech Manager and was surprised when my consultant told me that BI Content tab is missing. I wanted to check if anyone else has faced this problem and if so whats the way out. Pls also let me know what are the reasons behind this so as to not repeat these mistakes in future. Would appreciate an immediate response - Swami.

Swami,
This is surprising.
Check, whether you are able to access BI content from menu (RSA1->Goto-> Install BI Content)
Adjust the screen resolution and check whether the BI content tab is hidden.
Also check in tcode : RSORBCT.

Using tab groups but Firefox 28.0 crashes and even can not save all tabs in archive recently

Hi. I installed tab groups addon on my firefox 28.0 (firefox portable version) and each group has its tabs. of course. Problem is that Firefox crashes when i work on a group with the tabs and even can not save all tabs in archive as MAFF recently too. When i try to save all tabs in archive as... i choose the name and hit save and wait but after some time this crashes too. Last time i saved all my tabs and groups as MAFF or other file was end of april and since then i can not save them anymore because of the crashing.
I read on the help site to delete Firefox then reinstall ect. to fix problems but I DO NOT want to erase my groups with their tabs as i chose this solution working with group tabs as it would be to hard on my cpu when i use for each group a different browser for example.
Please help me fix this problem with the crashes but without loosing my groups and its tabs as they are all important and do not wish to erase them as i use them all.
Thanks and hope for a soon reply :)

Can you give me your crash reports?

How can I update an already saved "bookmark all tabs" group with a current group of tabs? Or add only the changes??

Example of problem:
I have already saved a group of tabs using the "bookmark all tabs" feature.
I open that group of tabs in a new browser window.
Then I modify that group of tabs that I have open, adding new ones, removing old ones.
How can I replace the existing tab group with the new tabs?
Is there an option to just add the new ones that I have opened and keep all the others even if I have removed some of the old ones from the currently opened group?
...another issue: can I share bookmarks online? What are the options for this?

You can't do that.<br />
Each time you use "Bookmark All Tabs" a new folder is created, even if you give the folder the same name, so you will have to do any merging yourself in the Bookmarks Manager or just create a new group and discard (delete) the previous group.
If you want to share bookmarks online then you need to use a web based service that offers such a feature like Delicious.

How can I move folders full of favorites to tab groups w/o reopening all those sites?

I have many folders full of website pages in my IE favorites. Some more used folders are on my favorites bar--I click and it drops down a menu of all sites saved. I click one to go to that favorite.
It would be difficult to use the bookmarks menu to go through cascading menus to get to my folders. I want to put them on tabs.
However I don't want to have to reopen each folder's 30 or more web pages to get them on the tab group. It would take many hours. Is there a way to create a tab group from a list of bookmarks?

Hi Nemonic,
To avoid typing the long full path every time, you can try to run the cmdlet set-location to set the current location as powershell working location, then you can use ".\" to represent the default root folder path.
To set folder permission in powershell, please refer to the cmdlet "Set-Acl":
How to Handle NTFS Folder Permissions, Security Descriptors and ACLs in PowerShell
If you want to achieve this without script, please post the issue in Windows server General forum:
