Ever since I put Firefox 4 on it opens up to the last window I ws at - not my home page - not any reason except the obnoxious Tab Group you added. I drag it to the customize box off the tool bar - no good. Whatever page I was last in it comes up next time I open Firefox as New Tab. I JUST WAT TAB GROUPS UN INSTALLED FROM MY COMPUTER !!! I don't want to customize it , or learn how neat it is, I WANT IT GONE. It does nothing but creat new problems. If need be I'll go back to the Firefox 3.6. Tab Groups should be a option - not something you have to live with. GET ME OUT - PLEASE

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].

Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder to get rid of the Tab Groups.
