In FF 52.0, clicking on tab group name ("Choose another tab group") does nothing #538

I just upgraded to Firefox 52.0. I wanted to change the tab group I was in, so I clicked on the tab group name in the upper right hand corner. This is supposed to bring up a list of all the tab groups. With Firefox 52.0, nothing happened.

(The workaround is to click on the down-arrow "List all tabs", then click on Tab Groups.)

Yeah, I know, tab groups are going away. I'm going to have to create a separate page for each of the 27 tab groups I have :-(.

I'm sorry you weren't able to work thinks out with the Firefox folks. I appreciate all the work you did to make Firefox easier to use.

Thanks, --Steve

I did something and now it works for me again. This is what I did:

  1. Using the "List all tabs" drop-down and clicking on "Tab groups", I brought up the groups view.
  2. I went to a tab group that had so few tabs there was no "List all tabs" drop down arrow. (I felt trapped! How was I going to get to a different tab group since clicking on the name did nothing? Yes, there's a keyboard short cut but I wasn't aware of it.)
  3. I created a new tab to force the down-arrow to appear, and then went to Tab groups.
  4. In the groups view, I clicked on the Settings gear. This opened about:tabgroups#howTo.
  5. I went to Tab Groups (about:tabgroups#tabGroups), and noticed the "Click to open the quick access panel" option. It was checked.
  6. I unchecked it, and clicked on the group name ("Manage your tab groups"), and got the Groups View.
  7. I exited the group view, and checked the "Click to open the quick access panel" option.
  8. I clicked on the group name ("Choose another tab group"), and the drop-down list of groups appeared!

I don't know how or why the initial upgrade to FF 52.0 got Tab Groups confused, but at least now I know how to get it back.
