Pinned Tabs - keep favorite websites open and just a click away - Lemmy

I just discovered that you can pin tabs, which means that they are always loaded when you open firefox. This is a game changer for me. Whenever I open firefox, all my most visited tabs are automatically loaded and there’s no loading time anymore. Of course I still need rules for cookie autodelete but it’s awesome!
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…
That’s unfortunate. I’m running firefox as flatpak and the problem is not there
How strange. Thought this is a general issue or ‘feature’. Maybe you close it FF differently as me? support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1291164

Good question, alt+F4 😅
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
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.
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.
In case you didn’t know, you can restore windows under History–>Recently closed windows.
