My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will stay for a week or so, then all of a sudden they're gone. I checked the forums and everything that was suggested there, I did or un-did. But there's no point in having the tabs if they don't stay.
My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will be there for a week or so, then they just aren't there the next time I open the browser. My settings seem to be OK, i.e. no clearing of history, etc. It's frustrating because then I have to go through the whole process of pinning everything as app tabs again.

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.

- http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
If you use CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.
Solution: (for retaining your Pinned App TABS when using CCleaner) (Note: I’ve only tested this in Windows 7). Firstly, in Firefox, click TOOLS\ADD-ONS, now in the “Search all Add-ons” box (top right of screen) type in “sqlite manager” and press the ENTER key. A list will appear. Select “SQLite Manager 0.7.7” in the list and click INSTALL. No setup is required so close the Add-ons screen now. The following is an essential step if you want your Pinned App Tabs to be retained. In Firefox, click TOOLS\OPTIONS\PRIVACY and select REMEMBER MY BROWSING HISTORY (you can easily set up the CCleaner options to override this setting and clear your history for you, like I have, by simply ticking or unticking the option boxes in CCleaner). After you have finished setting up your basic options in CCleaner (i.e. what to keep and what to clean), while still in CCleaner, select OPTIONS button, select EXCLUDE button, select ADD button, select "Drive or Folder", select BROWSE, now in the box navigate to the following folder. C:\Users\<your username>\ App Data\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<filename>.default - Now at the very bottom of the same box select "File Types" and enter sessionstore.js and select the OK button......Your Done.......Enjoy :) PS: You may find that although your Pinned App TABS problem is now solved, after running CCleaner the underlying page of the Pinned App TAB may not display properly in some instances due to the removal (by CCleaner) of cookies necessary for the correct display of that page. If this happens, Open CCleaner, select OPTIONS button, select EXCLUDE button, select ADD button, select "Drive or Folder", select BROWSE, now in the box navigate to the following folder. C:\Users\<your username>\ App Data\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<filename>.default - Now at the very bottom of the same box select "File Types" and enter cookies.sqlite - Now select the OK button......and again your Done.......Enjoy :)

Try the suggestion in this thread: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/840901 instead of the garbage above. You would think mozdevs who actually know a solution to this problem would post the solution in all the relevant threads.
If it doesnt work too, I'm ready to get rid of FF as my primary browser. Why bother providing a feature thats buggy ?? I once wasted my time pinning 20 apps over and over again till I realized it was poorly written and unsupported.
vomdez - I actually reviewed the suggestions you mentioned BEFORE posting the solution above. I certainly didn't see them as a better alternative. I dare say that you didn't even TRY my suggestion before labeling it as "the garbage above". I suggest that readers download CCleaner from Piriform and follow the instructions as posted and decide for yourselves re my solution...
