FF switches tab groups without warning when I close all but the last tab. This is very annoying - a bug?

I love the tab groups but it has a bug (I think). I have 3 pinned tabs, and usuallyt 4-5 tabs open in my main tab group. As I close down tabs to clean the clutter from time-to-time, Firefox automatically and without warning switches to my other tab group when I get to the last open tab. In other words there's one tab left open (which of course I don't close) but somehow this is not enough and the browser grabs the other tab group. I am running on XP. Any ideas? I looked for a parameter under options such as "number of open tabs allowed before switching to another group" but nothing there!

There was a useful answer over here: https://support.mozilla.com/de/questions/843048#286262

I just want to let you all know, I had this issue too. It turned out to be the addon All-In-One Gestures. After disabling it (and using FireGestures instead), my problems were gone. If you're experiencing this and you aren't using AIOG, it might be another addon and you can check by disabling all addons temporarily (using Firefox safe mode ) and testing to see if the problem still occurs.
