Description

[ichipek]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130201065344

Steps to reproduce:

I have some groups with some tabs. After closing one of the tabs...


Actual results:

... i'm swithed to another group.
If I want to close fast say, half of the tabs in the group i need to go to Panorama view.


Expected results:

I should stay in the group until the last (empty) tab is closed, and then switch to another.

Reproduce:
1. Open six tabs.
2. Take second, fourth and last tab to another group
3. Start closing first tab to the left

You'll be swithed between groups until last one closed.

Panorama has been removed from Firefox 45, currently in Beta and scheduled for release on March 7th. As such, I'm closing all existing Panorama bugs.

If you are still using Panorama, you will see a deprecation message in Firefox 44, and when 45 is released your tab group data will be migrated to bookmarks, with a folder for each group. There are also a few addons offering similar functionality.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-removal for more info.

We're removing Panorama because it has extremely low usage (about 0.01% of users), and has a large number of bugs and usability issues. The cost of fixing all those issues is far too high to justify, and so we'll instead be focusing our time and energy on improving other parts of Firefox.
