Vivaldi for Mac is always losing my tabs
-
I'm thinking about leaving Vivaldi. I really like the browser but EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I update the browser, my tabs are gone, sometimes it crashes, and my tabs are gone, in all workspaces.
Sometimes after a browser restart the tabs come back, but most of the time, I can restore the window.
However, every single time I do that, all my tabs are duplicated like 3 times, so I end up with hundreds of duplicated tabs, and I have to close them manually.
I filed a bug 6 months ago but it wasn't looked at.
Any ideas about what can I do to fix this?

This is how duplicated tabs look like

Hello, I'm also having similar problem, have had for years, and similar on two macs running diffrenent versions of macos. Happens whether I update Vivaldi or restart the mac - which leads me to think it's maybe a failure during closing of Vivaldi.
I get by enabling autosave sessions, so I can roll back to yesterday at worst, and using the 'workspaces' rather than the 'tabs' option. This produces a strange effect, where most tabs are in restored '(session)' workspace but a few are in the new (otherwise empty) workspaces, and I have manually re-merge them (the windows sidebar helps).
Biggest bug in Vivaldi, pity for otherwise great tool. -
@benjhm Same problem here. I am new in Vivaldi for some days. But this is an expected and awful and bad "thing"! I had several workspaces with several tabs and now they are gone!
How can I get them back and/or prevent Vivaldi from deleting them!!

Hello,
just to make sure your settings are correct: In Menu "Vivaldi" -> "Settings" and there in the left panel "General".
Do you have on the right side of the settings "Startup with" the option "Last session" active? Also try to activate "Lazy Load Restored Tabs" there.
Usually this should always restore your last session with all your tabs.

Right. I had both checked. No workspaces restored and no latest tabs.

Bummer.
If the tips mentioned some posts above for basic troubleshooting: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/735875 also don't work for you, I'm unfortunately out of more ideas.

@WerewolfAX thx anyway. Will see today if everything is oke today when my Mac is started.

@WerewolfAX Today vivaldi started as wanted, so with all tabs and workspace.
