Is there a good way of keeping track of tabs in different windows across reboots? I recently tried having all tabs related to a specific project in their own window on a different workspace, and everytime Firefox wanted to restart because of an update I had to close both windows and then go to History - recently closed windows to get back my tabs. I'd love something like tab groups that included windows, so I can seamlessly move tabs between windows, recover them after restarts, etc.

I am not sure if I understand your issue but if you close Firefox with CTRL+Q you get the same windows back when you launch it again.

  Unless Firefox crashes or you restarted after an update on Linux.

    I can't remember the last time Firefox crashed for me. I also use it on Linux and after an update it reopens all the windows just fine (I get the message that I need to restart and just quit all windows).

    Use tab session manager. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-manager/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-m...

    Firefox crashes every now and then, and I don't lose my session.

If you never close a window but instead close the entire firefox (ctrl+shift+q or exit from the menu) then it reopens all the windows. It would be nice a feature that closes all the windows when you close one so to not lose a window by mistake.

Tab Session manager addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-manager/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-m... - Its a firefox 'Recommended' addon - so its reviewed and vetted by Mozilla - Great UX and features. - Along with OneTab, its a lifesaving cure for tab hoarders. - Autosaves your sessions. - Store and recover last 10 autosaved sessions in each category (can be configured). - Also manually save current session or just a window. can add, edit and delete tabs in sessions. - Tag and organisze sessions. - A major upgrade over the default 'Restore last session' option which on more than one occassion has lost my sessions.

In Firefox you can enter % into the url bar to search within your open tabs. I also use Powertoys to search for Windows - Alt-Space to bring up the Powertoys Run menu, then % to search amongst open windows ("Window Walker").
