I pinned tabs but they don't open when I open a new window? Permenantly pinned tabs that open when you open the browser is something that is so simple and usefu

It doesn't have to be a "pin" necessarily, but I'm wondering how to keep tabs permanently there whenever I open a new browser they show up.

Pinned tabs are tied to a specific window and you can have a different set in each window. You would have to recreate pinned tabs if you want them in a new window, possibly by bookmarking them to a folder (bookmark all tabs) or set them as multiple home pages (a new window opens with the home pages). Maybe there is an extension that allows to open pinned tabs in newly opened windows, so you can search the Add-ons website.

Pinned tabs are losing the URL or they cannot open the URL when selected. This seems to be predominately gmail and gcalander, but also zoho mail.

I am only using one window and typically have only 5 to 10 tabs open of which only 3 are pinned.
