Before this Firefox update I had an add-on or extension or something where you could click on it and it would close all tabs, but save the links in another tab, by date. Unfortunately I don't remember what it was called.

Thought maybe 'pin' something, but that's basically unsearchable as there is something else called pins.

It was great, cause you could simply go to the tab and see all of the saved links, by date. It opened up every time Firefox started and I never had an issue. Saved HUNDREDS of links and now it's just gone! No history of it existing. How do I get it back??? This is terrible. Tons of work stuff saved there.

-Yes, I understand bookmarks and have plenty of those and they are still there. -Not related to Pinterest, just think it was called Pinned or Pin Something.

TIA!

Unfortunately, no one on here can tell you what Addon you installed. And could be the Addon no longer is supported with latest update and that is why it's gone but usually it be greyed out or disable if it no longer up to date with the latest Firefox. That would mean you need to contact the Addon developer to update so it work with Firefox again.

I guess I thought someone here would recognize what the addon was or tell me how to find it somehow through Firefox history.

Unfortunately with the amount of Addons on Firefox Addon page - no one is going to be able to identify which one it would be. As for Firefox history is a list of sites you visited - I could be incorrect but I don't think it list the Addons that would be the extension manager that would list your Addons installed.
