How do I save or set default Tab Groups?

There are many questions like this already, but non for the actual FF4 release.

When I close FF4 I lose all my tab groups.

If I tell FF to open previously opened tabs, it saves the tabs & tab groups of the most recently closed FF4 window. This means that if I have 2 FF windows open and I close the one that has all of my favorite tabs, I've just lost everything.

I'm sure there is a setting somewhere to "bake" or set basic tab groups. (perhaps a folder that I could bookmark my defaults to?)

I really don't want to have to install an add on to make tab groups useful.

App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Browsing History"
