I seems like when I create the App Tabs, then close FF4 then reopen it again they disappear and I have to end up recreating the tabs. Why does it do that? Does it supposed to stay open when I reopen Firefox?

Are you clearing your recent history when you close Firefox?

Firefox stores App Tabs and tab group details in the same file that stores details of browsing sessions. Make sure that you have not set Firefox to delete browsing history. For details of the setting to check see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
