How do you specify which Tab Groups opens on startup?
I've created several App Tabs and two Tab Groups.
Have dealt with the problem of not having them appear on restart by ensuring Options/General is set so Firefox restarts with "show my windows and tabs from last time" and "clear history when Firefox closes" is not checked on Options/Privacy.
It's clear Firefox opens all the tabs in both Tab Groups on restart, but how do I specify which of the two Tab Groups is the one that is automatically displayed on restart? On restart the same Group is always displayed. As expected, I can see the other Group by clicking the Tab Group icon on the tab bar to see Tab Group View. It doesn't matter how I arrange the boxes in Tab Group View. Is it which Tab Group was created first?

You might be able achieve that goal with this Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-king/
I would assume that the tab group that was active the last time that you used Firefox is still active the next time. So you wont switch to another group the next time that Firefox is started.
cor-el: you appear to be right.
I created several test Tab Groups. Regardless of which one I had open last, one group always was the one displayed on start up. Turns out this group contained a Tab for a website that had a pop-up requesting a user ID and password (it's a SharePoint site). It also contained another Tab/website with fields on the webpage requesting a user ID and password (not a popup).
When I removed the Tab/website with the pop-up, Firefox displayed the last used Tab Group on start up - what one would expect to happen and what you suggested should be the case. Apparently the pop-up forced its Tab Group to be displayed. The Tab/website with fields on the webpage requesting a user ID and password didn't have the same effect.
This is somewhat unfortunate since I'd like to have the password pop-up Tab/website in a group with its associated websites, but don't want that Tab Group to be displayed on start up - I want it in reserve when I need to work on that Tab Group's topic.

Thanks for this. I asked a question related to the same problem here, maybe you can provide an answer?
@ccondrup - sorry can't help. Looks like there are a lot of custom things people would like to do with the new Group feature. Let's hope the developers continue to add related capabilities.
