    Oddly enough, I can’t reproduce this bug right now. I’ll get back here when I manage to find a way for it!

      I've noticed this on Orion mobile as well. Unfortunately it's very difficult to nail down, as it seems to take some time for tabs to be forgotten. I actually just yesterday switched back to Safari on iOS as I noticed Orion had "forgotten" about 3 of my tabs (in a list of approximately 25 open tabs). They were just on the start page, with no back/forward history or anything, and unfortunately I have no idea what those tabs contained as I tend to just leave tabs open for some time and come back to them (I have nearly 500 open in Safari on iOS as an example... yes I know, I need to close many most all of them, but still... digital hoarder here)

        I experience exactly the same thing! I'm relieved I'm not alone. I believe @ajgraves described it more effectively.

          So by forgetting you mean, the tab is there, just its URL is gone and the tab becomes start page?

          That sounds annoying. We would greatly appreciate a video or steps to reproduce this one.

            Vlad Yes, that is exactly the experience. The tab is still there, however it is on the start page, no URL or history (can't use forward/back). Will see if I can try to duplicate this somehow, although given that it seems to happen after "some time" it may be very difficult to do.

            Steps to reproduce:
            Unclear how to reproduce but it happens frequently and at random.
            My usage is to typically have several (50+) tabs open at a time and I don’t usually close my tabs. I use Orion the same was on my iPhone and on my MacBook Pro. It is only when using the iPad that there are some mornings where I open Orion on my iPad and suddenly my tabs have either:

            1. Disappeared
            2. Become “start page” tabs with a back button history that goes nowhere
            3. Reverted to tabs that I had opened days ago and closed.

            To try and reproduce, I guess use Orion heavily without closing tabs on an iPad and wait to see if when this happens. I think leaving Orion idle for long enough that tabs go idle might be a contributing factor to reproducing this.

            Note: this happened in both the default group and in a separate group that I only used on my iPad (thinking that it might have been due to a syncing issue, but that’s unlikely after this latest incident).

            Expected behavior:
            Orion on iPadOS behaves the same as on iOS and macOS with respect to keeping open tabs.

            Orion, OS version; hardware type:
            iPadOS 16.1 (20B82) on and iPad Air 4th Generation
            Orion 1.2.4 (2) (WebKit 8614.2.9.0.10)

            Image/Video:
            I can provide this next time I encounter it.

              Merged 1 post from IPad tabs disappear or become start page.

                Any steps to reproduce ?

                  Symptoms are the same as the other posters. I haven’t noticed any pattern for reproducing it. Random chance and just using it a lot appears to be the only way for me to “reproduce” it. I do notice that it happens a lot more frequently on my iPad, but that could be because of pure usage (most of my web browsing is via my iPad).

                    Hi, has there been any progress in this case? Were you able to reproduce the bug?

                      a month later

                      It seems that it has been fixed with newest update. To be closed.

                        Correct, fixed with 1.2.9 today.

                          8 months later

                          Not fixed! I have routinely had open tabs go completely blank when I come back to Orion a day or two later. And it happens when I have as few as 3 open tabs. I don’t know what causes it, I just know that I shouldn’t keep anything I care about open in Orion because it will disappear. And since that has driven me back to my old browsers for the stuff I want to look at later, I’m ditching Orion. It’s unreliable. Shame, too. I loved having extensions.

                            1. Please open a new bug report
                            2. If happening 'routinely' please share exact steps to reproduce

                              I have the same problem on iPhone, but not on Mac OS. I thought I knew how to reproduce it, but had no success. It happens with newer tabs, as it seems like older tabs are more “established”. I know this doesn’t make sense, but it’s the best way I can describe it.

                              My Settings are set to reopen tabs from last session.

                              It happens just about every day.
