User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100901 Firefox/4.0b6pre

Switching to tab is broken when you use a new tab to switch to a tab group with only 1 tab. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open some tabs (App Tabs will not affect the bug)
2. Group them into 2 groups 
3. 1 group must contain only 1 tab. (It does not matter how many tabs the other group have as it will not affect the bug)
4. You group 4 tabs into the other group
5. Open a new tab in the other group
6. Use it to switch it to the group with only 1 tab 
7. You will discover a error in Tab animation in Panorama.

note: It does not affect the bug if you get the group with 1 tab by closing the other tabs in that group. you will end up with the same bug if you follow the STR. 

Important: Must use "New Tab" to switch to "group with 1 Tab". If you switch to a group with more than 1 tab, or if you don't use a new tab to switch tab, you will not get the error/bug.

> Use it to switch it to the group with only 1 tab 

What UI are you using to switch to the other group here?

Never Mind that it seems that I cannot reproduced the bug any more. Instead I discovered some other bug.  

STR: 
1) Open few tabs in Firefox. 
2) Group them into a few groups.
3) Open a group with only 1 new tab
4) Use the new tab to switch to tab in another group.
6) The group disappear.
7) Open another group with 1 new tab
8) You will find that the new tab that disappear, reappeared.

I am able to reproduce.
This is Not 'resolved'. 

I could not get out of 'Tab Group' view after clicking 'New Tab'

I added, just for fun, the Group Tabs icon to the toolbar.
Closed customized, clicked on GroupTabs button (10x) and Nothing happened.
I clicked the 'New Tab' + on tab bar and it opened a new tab, but in Tab Groups View.
I could Not close tab groups, could not choose a tab (page).
Clicking on previous page (in tab group, as iconnized page) animated page as if it were enlarging to 'open' or become the page i am viewing, but only reduced back to an icon.
Over and Over.

I could Not get out of Tab Groups. I had to kill firefox. 

Landis.

It would help a lot if you can tell us about what Add-ons/plug-ins are installed in your Firefox. If you try and reproduced it in a new Profile or with add-ons disabled, it will also be very helpful. 

This bug might not contain the exact problem that you are experiencing right now, in future it will be better to file a new bug about your problems instead of commenting it in a old bug. This is because usually new bugs will be more focused by the community than fixed old bugs are. 

I cannot reproduce what you have done, can you rewrite a STR ? Thanks
