Mass moving all Tab Candy bugs from Mozilla Labs to Firefox::Tab Candy.  Filter the bugmail spam with "tabcandymassmove".

The problem appears that the blank tabs are never assigned to a group in the first place.  When putting a blank tab into a group, the "tabview-tab" tab data variable is missing for those tabs (check sessionstore.js in profile).  

Without the "tabview-tab" data, blank tabs will lose their group when Firefox is restarted.

blank tabs are not the only tabs falling out of groups.
