My websites that are pinned as apptabs don't restart the next session

more options

When I open Firefox and open a website (Example gmail) and pin it as an app tab I believe it is supposed to reopen automatically the next time I open Firefox. It doesn't. My son used my system and MAY have changed some settings. How do I get my desired site to automatically open when I start Firefox. Thank you

app-tabs are considered part of browsing history, in order to restore app-tabs you must save your browsing history.

Not saving History (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History" your "browsing history".
