Dev channel update to 87.0.664.8 is live
It seems that after updating I lost all 150+ tabs (I know it's a lot) and they do not appear anywhere in recently closed tabs. The only tab that was loaded was the "We updated you..." landing page. Did I misunderstand that they should be in there as tab groups with this new bug/fix?

Me too. However, I found Reopen closed window on the window control menu (right-click on the 'title' bar or press Alt-Space). It opened a new window with all my 30+ missing tabs. I don't know how long the option stays there; I was pretty quick in panic mode.

Noel Burgess when I try that it only opens the same window (tweet deck PWA) over and over and over. I tried it maybe 30 times to see if it would go back any further and it doesn't. But thank you for the suggestion.

Ryan Buckwalter Ah, that's unfortunate. We've been working on removing PWAs/Apps from the recovery logic for that exact reason: sometimes it picks up the app windows and not the main one. Is the list of recently closed windows in edge://history/recentlyClosed any bigger?

josh_bodner After the update the recently closed windows list in edge://history/recentlyClosed was completely blank. Now it's filling with sites I've been looking up to try to solve this, but all the previous windows/tab groups are gone.
I do still have the individual history of each site I've been too, so it appears my only option is go through all of that one by one and try to figure out what sites I was trying to keep open.
