I can see the new feature is amazing - pin tab as apps but unfortunately one of the key thing i love about firefox is the ability to clear history and everything when i exit firefox. If I select this, then the pinned apps disappear according to forum posts and my own experience (using firefox 4 now).

But seeing as my bookmarks don't disappear when i exit firefox, why can't I pin bookmarks as apps then? It would be similar in function only difference would be it would not save my session/passwords etc which is what I want.

Any idea or is this feature already available?

This used to work before I updated to Firefox 9.1.0. This is so aggravating!! I still have 4 pinned websites from before the update but now I cannot Pin anymore!! I can remove them, I just can't add more!!!!!!!!!

Why do developers ALWAYS have to go an f*** with things that work just fine???

@foxynoxy What you are displaying in that screenshot looks more like a way to pin application windows to the Windows Taskbar and that has nothing to do with App tabs in Firefox.

I disagree 100%, can no longer PIN any webiste addresses to my Firefox icon on the task Bar. It worked before the update and it STILL works with Chrome and IE 9. I can PIN any website to other browsers, so why is it not working on Firefox after the Firefox update? EXPLAIN THAT YO!!
