How can I set the "tab groups" page as my home page?

I've searched for about:config options, and even installed Customizable Shortcuts 0.5.11.1 with the hopes that there would be a shortcut for "options" or "preferences", so that I could simply click "set as home page" while in the tab groups page. No dice. I've just started working with tab groups again (I was away on Chrome for maybe a year... but I'm back), and I think it would be great if I could simply have all my tab groups displayed when I start firefox up. How do I do it?

The tab view page is dynamically populated based on the tab groups in the current window. Although the "page" has an address, opening that address directly yields a blank tab, so I think that's a dead end.

Since the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+e, maybe you can find a way to send that automatically?

Also, if you rely heavily on tab groups, I assume you are using something like the Session Manager extension to protect against data loss. Because tab groups (and of course the tabs themselves) are stored only long enough to restore the immediately previous session, it's not too difficult to accidentally lose them all.

You can add a button to a toolbar to open the tab groups if you do not already have it or move is to a more convenient position on another toolbar.
