Status: New idea

Tab Groups are currently implemented in Chrome such that closing all of the browser's windows (or even just a window with a tab group in it) does not eliminate the list of existing tab groups; they're saved, and the user can click on a tab group in the list and respawn the tabs in that tab group. If I recall correctly, Brave implements it this way too, as does Safari (though it looks different, obviously).

To me, this is the killer-feature aspect of Tab Groups: they're like temporary bookmarks, so even if my browser crashes, I don't lose what I was working on, but I don't have to go to the trouble of saving (and updating) a bunch of bookmarks to get that effect for things that I only want to save temporarily. It would be great if Firefox added this ability as well.

Thanks!

Indeed, I had a similar point, when closing a tab group it does appear in the History. And I was suggesting a sub-menu like like Recently closed Tab groups.

Making moves

I was mentioning similar feature in the original release thread some time ago. (Sidebar-and-vertical-tabs-release-channel-experimentation)

Tab groups should have their own "Bookmark" category, separate from Bookmarks on it's own.
I have multiple tabs in the same group, that I have bookmarked in different bookmark folders.

Everytime you close window with tab group, it should still be preserved somewhere in easily accessible menu, so they can be reopened easily. Maybe new option on toolbar. Few minutes ago I have Saved and closed tab group... and it disappeared, nowhere to be found. Where is it saved...?
Also bookmarks should have option added to context menu to Open in Tab group, which would automatically assign and move them into corresponding tab group.
And most importantly, clicking on the tab groups name should collapse the group, just like when you do operations with file browsers folder trees.
