Hi Hassan, pinned tabs are stored in your session history file and they should be reopened as long as the window containing those tabs was not closed before you Quit Firefox, and as long as Firefox is not set to clear history when it closes.

Does this problem only occur when doing a shutdown and restart of your Mac? Other times, you Quit out of Firefox and the pinned tabs are restored at the next startup?

When the problem occurs, can you recover the tabs using "Restore Previous Session" from the History menu?
