I have set in Firefox the option to empty the cache and history when I close Firefox.

I have added few App Tabs to avoid to lauch some tabs each time I start Firefox.

But when I quit Firefox and start it again App Tabs doesnt appear and it seems to be because of this settings.

I can understand it can be linked with the way it's coded but it's too separate functionnalities and it shouldnt.

Is there a specific settings to keep my App tabs ?

Restoring tabs is part of your history. By clearing history tabs are not remembered. When history is cleared we don't want to leak any of the data from your previous session.

Thx for your answer.

But when I select the option to empty everything when I close Firefox I can chose what is deleted - Cookies - Download history - Cache etc...

There should be an option for pinned tabs. Especially because this tabs are not simple tabs but tabs you want to keep.

The only solution I have found so far is to keep emptying everything and to ask to Firefox to start a folder of bookmarks as my homepage (homepage <=> several URLs separated with | )

But it opens wide tabs and not small pinned ones :/

We should have the option !
