Attachment: Video_2014-04-28_232226.wmv

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140421221237

Steps to reproduce:

- In a FF29 clean profile, enter the Tab Groups view by using the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Shift + E :
  notice that the Tab Group button indicates correctly that 1 tab group exists
- click on the empty space to open a new tab (in a new tab group):
  notice that the Tab Group button now indicates that 4 tab groups exist.
- press Ctrl + Shift + E again, and in the Tab Groups view, close one of the groups, then click on a tab in the other group to switch to :
  notice that the Tab Group button still indicates that 4 tab groups exist (although only 1 group exists).



Expected results:

The Tab Group button should show the correct tab groups number in all cases.

The tab groups button of tabs bar seems just an static image, no dynamic effects, so is always full grid.
Only #exit-button (at upper right corner of tab groups view) have 'groups' attribute, and it looks to be normal.

Yes, this was a deliberate change.
