during a session, tabs managed by TGM get "locked" and other visual/functional issues appear over time #11

If you run a decently-lengthed session in a browser, eventually you will run 
into tab placement / useability issues.

Specifically, I have seen the following:

1. Tabs occasionally disappear on their own.
2. When closing / manipulating tabs in a group, various tabs gt "stuck" or 
locked into place. 
3. Occasionally, a space will open up where a tab should be; subsequently, no 
other tab can be moved there.
4. Occasionally, a tab turns black and cannot be used.

I have seen this behaviour with TGM in production versions of Firefox 18 - 21.

Not seen this in v16 or earlier, over many months and 1000+tabs, nor (yet) in 
v18. My experience of tabs vanishing has been more related to the setting 
"browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs" in about:config - this MUST be 
'true' for TGM to work reliably in those versions. Suspended tab groups can 
vanish in v20, and might also vanish in v19, mainly on session restart though, 
due to changes in those issues, but that's different of course.

Can you narrow this one down at all, or screenshot it (without personal info)? 
Maybe check if this repeats in v18 (or 18.0.2), with the above setting checked, 
or with most other extensions disabled, or reproduced in a clean install or 
clean profile?

This issue could be caused by core changes made to Firefox, and some bugs 
probably which has never been fixed in Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261826
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786484
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595601

The solution of the "hidden" tab problem is written here:
http://xuldev.blogspot.com.es/2007/09/how-to-hide-tab-correctly-difference.html
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Firefox_addons_developer_guide/Introduc
tion_to_XUL%E2%80%94How_to_build_a_more_intuitive_UI

Instead of using the attribute "hidden" to hide the tabs each time a group is 
opened, the attribute "collapsed" should be used.

The problem happens when we move a tab in the same group. Firefox doesnt handle 
very well elements which has been hidden before, assigning a new index or an 
incorrect one.

This issue has been solved and works perfectly with the above solutions, no 
more tab dissapearing :)
I will send a beta package soon with the fix.
