Pin Tabs disappear-lost-gone
What causes the pin tabs to be deleted? Since I save them as bookmarks I can easily recover; faster and easier for me as a "point and click" person, rather than going through through the restoration descriptions.
My question is what does one do to not cause this happen in the first place; not how to restore them when it happens.
Even as pinned tabs they do not show up in HISTORY even after I visit the pinned tabs (typically weather) so I go there frequently i.e. rational for pinned.

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".
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" -> Settings

- 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
Thank you for your reply. I don't run in permanent private browsing, nor do I clear history or cookies. These are great possibilities as why pinned tabs disappear, but not in my case. Thank you again
