this is on trunk. STR: 1. open tabcandy, click on an ungrouped tab 2. you're now in browser view, with all ungrouped tabs open 3. ctl+t to open a new tab expected: new tab opens to the right of the open tabs actual: new tab opens and all other tabs are gone

I agree this is no good. It happens because the "new tabs" group and the ungrouped tabs are treated as separate sections, but when you create a new tab in the ungrouped tabs section, it goes into the "new tabs" group. To fix this, probably the thing to do is to combine those two sections as far as the tab bar is concerned. The other possibility, as far as I can tell, is to get rid of the "new tabs" group entirely. Assigning to Aza for deliberation.

There is some serious design work that still has yet to take place for the first-run experience. It is being tracked in the Etherpad.

This bug will be fixed by the implementation of #574875

(In reply to comment #3) > This bug will be fixed by the implementation of #574875 I disagree. It'll be mitigated, since people won't be thrust into this situation immediately, but we'll still have the schism wherein tabs created while in the "ungrouped" group will magically whisk you away to the "new tabs" group. This should be fixed.

(In reply to comment #4) I believe these are now all answered by these two specs: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/TabCandy/Design/FirstRun https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/TabCandy/Design/NewTabs In particular, we won't have a new tabs group and tabs are rarely orphaned for long.

From IRC, the "correct behavior", as confirmed by Aza: "If all orphan tabs show up together in the tab bar, when you create a new tab and that new tab and the last active orphan tab become a group (as I implemented yesterday), then all the other orphan tabs would disappear from the tab bar suddenly? So I think it would be preferred to make it so that, if you're viewing an orphan tab, the tab bar is just that single tab."

Ok, thanks. I'll try a build soon and verify.
