When I close a tab in a tab group (e.g. A) it sometimes happen, that FF switches me to another tab group, let say B. This phenomenon is reproducable.

I think the problem / trigger is, that FF has an internal numbering of the order in which tabs across all tab groups were opened:

Example: 2 tab groups A & B and several tabs opended afterwards in different tab groups

A: 1,2,3,4, 8,9, B: 5,6,7,10

When I now close the forth tab in group B, opended as the last one (10), FF will automatically focus on the last tab in group A (9) which was opended just before the 10th.

This happens a lot of time! And I can reproduce the problem. I think these post describe somewhat but not exactly the same problem: https://support.mozilla.com/de/questions/828677 https://support.mozilla.com/de/questions/837274

I just want to let you all know, I had this issue too. It turned out to be the addon All-In-One Gestures. After disabling it (and using FireGestures instead), my problems were gone. If you're experiencing this and you aren't using AIOG, it might be another addon and you can check by disabling all addons temporarily (using Firefox safe mode ) and testing to see if the problem still occurs.
