If you open new tabs after restarting Firefox and have a tab that hasn't been grouped selected when showing groups, all the new tabs will end up in the corner as ungrouped tabs.
Nominating as blocking - it's very confusing when this happens, and the ways to get out of it (e.g. draw a group around all the ungrouped tabs piled up in the corner) are not obvious.

Agreed; zpao, will this be fixed by any pending work on your end, or does this have nothing to do with how sessionStore is storing TabCandy info? (not an accusation, I'm just forgetting where those bugs are!)

Would have helped if I'd cc'd zpao - zpao, please see comment 2! :)
This could be fixed with Dietrich's work in bug 588217, so bouncing to him.
Ed, can you clarify the steps to reproduce?

Also, this doesn't sound related to the session restore changes.
1) Group some tabs
2) Restart firefox
3) Open and select a new tab
4) Open Panorama

expected: new tab is in a group
actual: new tab is in the corner
Please clarify: are tabs being placed in the bottom right but then slowly moving to their appropriate respective groups (bug 591709, now marked as a duplicate of bug 590268 as that should solve it)? Or are they being placed in the bottom right and then not moving anywhere, in which case their group assignments were actually lost?

I am seeing tabs placed in the bottom right and not moving anywhere - their group assignments were lost.  If I open one of the "cornered" tabs, then it appears alone in the tab bar (even if it was together with other tabs were the tab bar before activating Panorama).

Thanks for clarifying.
You can also trigger this by restarting Firefox, opening a tab, selecting it, pressing ctrl-` (to switch groups).
If you close one of these cornered tabs, you get:

wip v1

Does this change actually fix it? It seems a harmless enough change (except for causing redundant work), but doesn't really seem like it should fix the problem. If it does, perhaps it's a symptom of a deeper cause?
The reason why it breaks now is because the newly opened tab is not part of any group, so when activating panorama, there's no active group set (nor active orphan tab) when linking the new tab. The patch relaxes the requirement of the active group being the selected tab to be that of visible tabs.
Priority: -- → P1
I suppose the real fix is to not create these orphan tabs and always put them in a group. And if we don't think we have have an active group, we'll need to somehow pick one.

Ok, gotcha; nice catch.

Instead of only setting the active group on reconnect of the selected tab, do so for any visible tabs.

This test failure appears to be the same as the one for bug 587990; should probably have the same fix. See Ehsan's comment:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587990#c45
Perhaps use the same sort of window close observation Sean just now used in the test for bug 595236?
Assignee: edilee → raymond
Raymond probably already knows, but bug 587990 implements what I have in this patch and more. All that this patch really adds then is a test, but it seems to fail with the test timeout.

Still not sure why the various attempts to get the test passing aren't working. The main code fix came with the dependent bug so all that's left here is landing the test if it starts working.

Let's keep an eye out for this one, because I got the pesky mini-tabs cornered on the top left of my Panorama view after I restarted after applying today's nightly on Mac.

It didn't happen on my Windows 7 machine.
