Description

*Tab navigation doesn't work for saved tab groups

Recently google chrome added a new feature making it possible to save tab groups.
Once you add tabs to a saved group, you won't be able to navigate to that tab with vimium.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add any page to a new tab group
  2. enable the save group feature for the group
    image
  3. open a new tab with any url
  4. try go to the tab with T using vimum, even after the selection your tab will not change. Once you disable the save group feature the navigation starts working again.

Include a screenshot if applicable.

Browser and Vimium version
Version 120.0.6099.216 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Vimium: 2.0.5

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in Chrome 120.0.6099.216 with Vimium 2.0.5 by saving a tab group, opening another tab, and using the T command. Trace the tab-navigation path involved in selecting the saved-group tab; done means T switches to that tab while the group remains saved, without regressing navigation for unsaved groups.
