When I upgraded to Windows 10 I lost the ability to pin tabs in the new tab screen. I used the help function but the pin option DOES NOT appear when selecting the 3 dots as shown in the article found through the help screen. What is the problem?

The non-appearance of the 'pin option' when I click on the 3-dot icon is the problem.

Hello   adenpin,

You'll see a light grey pin icon under Top Sites that you've added yourself,   and the three dot menu will only give you the "Unpin" option.

When you have unpinned a Top Site, Firefox will add one, but won't pin it;   that's when you'll get the "Pin" option in the three dot menu.

That's not how it happens for you ?

You do click the 3-dot icon that appears if you hover a tile under the Top Sites section ?

What do you see if you click the 3 dots ?

Can you attach a screenshot ?
