Where did my app tabs go

I have 4 app tabs set up but several times when I have reopened firefox (probably after a crash, which seems to be happening a lot), the app tabs are gone.

Where do I go to reinstall them, or do I have to start over?

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 Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is probably better to use:
