I want to have 4 windows open when I open firefox. I want to have these 4 windows pinned. When I clear my cache/history, for some reason, my tabbed windows go away and are forgotten.

Is there an option where, when you select the pages you want to open when Firefox opens, that you can say open them as pinned windows? And that it would be smart enough to know those pinned windows are opened, and not open copies of those pinned windows in their non-pinned form?

It's really annoying when I use the "Delete the last two hours of my history" feature, and it deletes my pinned windows.

Losing pinned tabs when you clear history will only happen if you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the browsing history. Using this method means that you do not wish to keep any history and pinned tabs are considered history and thus aren't kept.

Also make sure you use "File -> Exit" and not the close X in the top right corner. Closing each individual window with the close X will only restores the last closed window and if that isn't the window with the pinned tabs then you lose these.
