Safari doesn't save all tabs

Hello Marilou0121,

To help determine a solution, we'll need to isolate the behavior a bit more. You mentioned that you've tried closing Safari, and the option to bookmark the tabs are still greyed out. Does this occur in a different user on your Mac? This will tell us whether the issue is isolated to the user you're in, or if it's system-wide.

"Add a user

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Users & Groups  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. Click the Add Account button below the list of users on the right (you may be asked to enter your password.)
3. Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.
4. For more information about the options for each type of user, click the Help button in the lower-left corner of the dialog.
5. Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
6. Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Enter a password hint to help the user remember their password.
7. Click Create User."

If this is occurring with iCloud tabs, be sure you set up this feature in the new user using the steps in Set up and use iCloud Tabs.

We look forward to hearing the results.

Cheers!

Hello Marilou0121,

If you sign into iCloud in a new account, then all of your saved Safari tabs should appear. Right now, we just want to isolate and see if this behavior is happening in other accounts.

Also, just out of curiosity, do you perhaps have screen time enabled? If so, let's see what happens if we disable that. Use Screen Time on your Mac - Apple Support

Some Screen Time features may cause unexpected results and this may be what's happening.
