Tab groups opens all groups at the same time

When I started a new session with Firefox today, all of my tab groups opened in one window at the same time, but still in groups (that required selecting that group from the tab groups window to access each group of tabs). I tried restarting Firefox. I tried restarting my computer. Firefox is up to date (40.0.2). Ultimately, I had to close all but one group of tabs and resort to using Tab Grenade to save my groups of tabs for easy access/loading. But I like having them all open and not be reliant on continuous Internet access. I have no idea what caused this problem. I hadn't shut down my computer, just closed and re-opened Firefox to reset memory usage, and when it opened the tab groups were screwy.

Hi ejoneedshelp, What is your start up page? Tabs from last time or set pages? Also what was happening before this started? I am a bit confused how you had it set up before.

You mentioned that you would like to be able to work offline with some of these tabs, when you click on them are they reloading the page? It is only possible to start in offline mode from the Profile Manager unfortunately.

The add on page for Tab grenade has some of the similar happenings in their comments: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-grenade/reviews/ If we cannot figure this out, please email the developer in that link above.
