I keep getting tabs that will auto-pin. I do not see anything in option that is allowing this. It is not happening to all tabs but seems to happen to ones that have been open longer. The tab will also move automatically to the far left that becomes auto-pinned. I can unpin it by right clicking and selecting but I also have to do the same to close it. I do not have any pinned or saved pinned tabs as this does not happen if I have one or two tabs open. How do I prevent this, it is quite annoying.

Hi, try a uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 59.0 with a Full Version Installer
