Problems with pinned tabs in a group used as home page

I'm using Firefox 4, and have set as my home page a group of pinned tabs + regular tabs.

When Firefox starts, the pinned tabs appear twice: pinned and as regular tabs.

Am I missing some setting? Is it on purpose? Is it possible to have pinned tabs + regular tabs when Firefox starts?

I believe that's as designed; pinned tabs come back with each restart. Don't put them as Home pages. Only put non-pinned tab URLs as Home pages and you'll have both... the pinned under the pinned tabs tab, and the others in their own tabs.

If that is 'as designed' then there should be an option to entirely forgo Firefox loading particular tabs (rather than homepage/blank/previous tabs as we have now).

To be honest, I don't think that is as designed, I think it hasn't been taken into account - why would you design it so the same tab opened twice on load?
