Hello can someone help re pinned tabs? I can pin them ok but if I close and re-open FF, the pinned tabs are lost. I have activated/checked the setting 'show your windows and tabs from last time'. This works correctly for any open tabs but not pinned ones. Has this functionality changed? Thanks Serky

Make sure you close Firefox (Firefox -> Quit) with all windows you want to restore still open.

Make sure you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History).

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.

  • do not clear the Browsing History
  • clearing "Site Preferences" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exception for password and other website specific data
  • clearing "Cookies" will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an "Allow" exception you may want to keep

Thanks for the responses. I feel like an idiot though as it now seems to be working and I haven't changed anything (maybe there was some other conflict?). Anyway it seems other people may have had this problem and have benefited from your answers. Cheers
