Safari reopens all closed tabs after quit

Question

Safari reopens all closed tabs after quit

On Mac after quit Safari REOPENS ALL CLOSED TABS in all tab groups, if I delete a tab groups Safari reopens the deleted ones too!

I have four tab groups and now each of them has at least 20 tabs and I can't close them completely because when I quit Safari and open it again all the closed tabs are opened. the amount of tabs is growing as I keep using the browser, but it works slower and slower with lots of tabs I don't need anymore. That's really ANNOYING!!

I've deleted all history. I've updated macOS to Sonoma 14.0. I've tried to close all tabs, all tab groups. But after quit here I am again drowning in 1000 tabs and having nothing to do with it!

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?!! HOW TO FIX IT?!?!?!?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0
