However, they disappear and are not loaded anymore if you have multiple Firefox windows open and the window with the pinned tabs is not the last Firefox window one you close...

[–] SaintWacko@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

A solution for this is to go to the menu and "Quit Firefox" or something like that. That closes all the windows at once, and they all come back

[–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I run into this sometimes. Just need to be careful to use Ctrl-q to close all windows rather than closing them one-by-one.

[–] LFR@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

In case you didn't know, you can restore windows under History-->Recently closed windows.

[–] flux@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

The pins are part of the window, so.. You can access old closed windows through the history menu, which I believe works after starting a new session after quitting it.

That's unfortunate. I'm running firefox as flatpak and the problem is not there

[–] auchschonda@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How strange. Thought this is a general issue or 'feature'. Maybe you close it FF differently as me? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1291164
