Zombie tabs & tab groups on Safari

I'm not able to delete certain tabs and tab groups on my iMac for more than a few seconds. After I delete them they open up again automatically, presumably synchronizing from iCloud. They keep rising from the dead.


Monterey 12.1

Safari 15.2 (17612.3.6.1.6)

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Tomhenning2,


Thanks for those additional details.


After closing the tabs on your iPhone, quit the Safari app on your Mac, then hold the Shift key while launching the app again. Do the closed tabs still reappear?


If so, restart your Mac in safe mode, and test again there: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Cheers!
