Hi There, I really think we may need to see what you are doing, is it possible to share a screencast or a screenshot of what you are pinning. I tried to close a pinned tab on the about:newtab page and pinned the about:newtab page to the browser. The first one it did go away, however the second description I attempted in the last sentence it did not go away. Although my newtab does not default to about:newtab either. *[http://www.screencast.com/t/hzjSdwiudRg] If you are not familiar: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] or for screencasting I use Jing every now and again.
