   #Firefox desperately needs a toggle to keep your pinned tabs persistent. Accidentally open a new window and close them in the wrong order and POOF, all gone.

   Are there any workarounds for this?

     @killyourfm I only have a partial solution. If it happens you can ctrl-shift-n to reopen the last closed window.

     There is also a warning you can set up when you try to close multiple windows, but I don't think there is a specific one for pinned tabs.

     @theron29 Yes but I had closed just enough that the one with the pinned tabs wasn't in there to restore.

     @killyourfm Isn't there a "closed window history"? (I'm using it all the time...)

     @killyourfm
     ctrl+shift+t will restore closed tabs in order of closing

     @thingsiplay Thank you that's a GREAT suggestion to have them in a separate bookmarks folder.

     @killyourfm Meanwhile until you find a solution, I would just create a dedicated Bookmarks folder with tabs you intend to have always pinned (I can't live without pinned tabs too). So at least in case the pins poof again, you have them ready to open. Kinda a backup, but not ideal, as you have to keep the bookmarks in sync. Defeats the usability.

     Maybe this addon can help, but I did not use it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/persistentpin/
