Tabbed groups won't show when session restored

When I restore my previous session, the browser only displays one group of tabs and the tabs are above the address bar when it should be showing various tab groups below the address bar and favorites bar. The groups are still open apparently - it lists the total number of tabs that should be open when I try to close the window, but they aren't visible. It looks like there are no tab groups. I've come across this problem repeatedly with various different groups of tabs over the last couple of weeks. I've restarted, started the groups all again manually etc with the same result. Anyone have the same problem? Need some resolve!

Hi!

I understand that while the Tabs seems to be open in other groups, you can't access to the other tab groups.

Are you able to access the view where all the Tab Groups should appear? Try clicking Ctrl+Shift+E to access this view. Is it empty and only shows one group?

Do you have the Tab Groups button in your toolbar? If not, if you can see the other groups with the keyboard combination that I gave you in the previous question, you should add the icon.

You can find this information and more in the following article: Use Tab Groups to organize a lot of tabs

Do you mean that you lost the Tab bar or aren't there any tabs visible on the Tab bar?
