Pinned tabs do not seem to be protected in the newest version of Firefox (57.0.2). If on a pinned tabbed opening a bookmark overrides the pinned tab and loads the bookmarked page. The version before the "big" upgrade would open a new tab instead of overriding the pinned tab. Is there a fix? What happened? Protecting pinned tabs is one of the little things that used to set Firefox apart from Chrome, Edge, and others. Thanks.

Cannot reproduce on v. 59, so it's fixed (or a very specific bug).
