Closing & Reopening Firefox Dumps Recently Accessed Tabs into Other Tabs Group

Describe the bug
When I close and reopen Firefox or reboot my computer, STG fails to restore tabs that I've been using recently (say the last 1-2 days) to the groups they existed in prior to the close. The tabs are opened but get dumped into an "Other Tabs" groups that isn't one that I created. I then have to use the Manage Groups function to push them all back to the correct groups. This does not seem to happen on tabs that I haven't looked at in a while (more than a few days).

This has been happening to me for many months, but I've just now started to understand the pattern well enough to report it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Work as usual across various tabs and groups. Take note of recently accessed tabs.
  2. Close and re-open Firefox.
  3. Notice that at the moment Firefox opens the recently used tabs appear to be in the correct group. However, after a second of two they get moved into an "Other Tabs" group.
  4. Open the Manage Groups tab and find many of the recently accessed tabs in the "Other Tabs" group.

Expected behavior
When Firefox is closed and re-opened, all tabs are assigned to the group and sequence they existed in when Firefox was closed.

Screenshots
I'll try to catch it when able.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Windows 10 Pro
  • Firefox version: 130.0.1
  • Simple Tab Groups version: 5.2

Additional context
None

I just had this happen again. I've been using my computer with the browser open for the last 2 days. I had to restart today and when Firefox opened I saw the tabs briefly appear in the correct group and then after about 1-2 seconds 17 tabs got moved to the "Show other tabs" group (which is an automatically created group by STG). Each of these 17 tabs are the main ones I've been working in the past 2 days. All of the other tabs that I haven't been working with recently were placed correctly.

Here is a screenshot of the "Show other tabs" group with those 17 tabs. Note that I have blurred the image.
