It seems not working to call _unlockTabSizing() in showOnlyTheseTabs. _hasTabTempMaxWidth has been false when swiching back.

Yes, this bug depends on fixing the callers of showOnlyTheseTabs first (or having a function in tabbrowser.xml that is called exactly then tab groups are toggled) and then addressing this problem.

Panorama is gone as of 2016. Replacements https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/panorama-tab-groups/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/

But there is a request to bring it back per Bug 1509350 - Provide tab groups (panorama)
