I have a habit of making windows for different things. For example, let's say I have three windows open. One for school, one for work, and one for leisure.

I want all my work tabs to persist even after closing firefox. Once I close a window, all the links get saved to the bookmark folder. I would then open the folder and start with those tabs open again.

Does anything like this exist?

Well, the closest i can think of would be https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-stash/ but AFAIK, it doesnt automatically track or create bookmark groups/folders when a window is closed.

edit: thinking a litte more about this maybe "Simple Tab Groups" could also help ... if you can get into the habit of making each window its own group ... i think it could work and should in comparision to tab stack cover the problem of tab tracking. - Maybe something you could test and see if that would work for you.

I was thinking about this recently too. I'd like to have a "session" per window that I can open and close and resume at any time. Instead of having to load all or nothing at browser startup.

I use firefox with A LOT of profiles, for every container area that i have in my life, with this I use some email alias to sync separate bookmarks and addons settings, you should try to...

Another way to save the pages is with multi tab group addon to reenable that old ff feature...

example: profile 1 personal, 2 work n 3 school, fix the tab about:profiles to quick acess to all or create ff shortcut for every profile... multi tab feature I use for some big research like: an ac eletronic board, a group with schematics links, and link to every component datasheet that im trying to fix, when im not fixing it, i go for another group and got it nice n easy
