Safari Tab Groups: I Have Two Named Tab Groups and All Open Tabs Disappeared From One Group But Not The Other - How to Recover?

I have two named Safari tab groups on my MacBook Air. All open tabs disappeared in one of the tab groups but not the other. I've tried all the steps I can find to find the missing named tab group's many open tabs. Nothing. Any ideas or is it all just gone? Thank you

MacBook Air 13″

Thank you for your time!!


As I noted I had tried everything I could find and that's just about your entire list!!


I came here to get human thinking and assistance, not a list of things for me to look up to DIY it.


Seems these fora are for humans to help each other with their knowledge rather than tell each other to look up things ... from the beginning steps.


I do appreciate you took the time to post a reply. Thank you and happy holiday season.

Sadly, there are an unfortunate number of users posting here who are just pasting AI slop. They also never come back to follow up. I'm sorry you got one of those.

Does AI celebrate holidays?


I'm not a big user of tab groups (I bookmark things and keep as few tabs open as possible). But, my suspicion is that, yes, your tabs are gone.


From one real human to another, best of luck.
