WHy do my pinned tabs not come up when I reopen Firefox?
I have pinned my email and internet radio in the tab bar. After I exit Firefox 4 and then return - the pinned tabs are no longer there. Also the "ghost" tab with the + sign (to open a new tab) is missing at the right side of the tabs in the tab bar...where did it go? I have to hit the button in the Navigation bar...dont like that.

App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder
Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Browsing History"
Another issue that manually creates this problem:
Open browser with the App Tabs
Open a second browser window (no App Tabs here)
Close the first browser window using the top-right 'X' and then close the second browser window the same way (all browser windows are closed now)
Reopen the browser & the App Tabs are gone.
Although I rarely do this, sometimes I'll be working on multi-windows & forget the order of closing. I solved this my getting the "Toolbar Buttons" add-on [ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toolbar-buttons/ ] and putting the "Exit" icon in my navigation toolbar & had to train myself to use that to exit Firefox. Now I don't lose my App tabs.
MAC users on Snow Leopard - see my reply. This sort of is the same as above - ive logged it as a bug.

Outside of losing my pinned tabs when opening a browser and then re-pinning my sites, I open a second browser and NO PINS are showing.
It appears ver. 5 has 2 major issues:
1. Losing pins when opening or restarting browser 2. No pins when a second browser (new window) is opened. Please help.
Me too. Same problem. The prescribed fix with the toolbar is nice. But I can't wait until the developers make it even better
