Do not load pinned tabs on launch until selected - config not working

When I pin tabs I do not want them to load upon re-launch until selected

Looking through this Forum I see :

These related prefs can be found on the about:config page. 

   browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs
   browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand

However even when both are set to : false (which is default setting) all my pinned tabs get loaded upon next launch which slows down launch.

any suggestions ?

Chosen solution

You would have to set the browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand pref to true to disable loading pinned tabs (pinned tabs are restored by default)
