I have created several app tabs (e-mail accounts, social websites) but although the open tabs from my previous browsing session open when I re-open Firefox, my app tabs don't. I have to spend several minutes setting them up again. Why do they not appear when I start Firefox, and how can I set up so that they do?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history

  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

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.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
