Why does my App Tab disappear after boot up?

I have attempted to set up Twitter on an App Tab, but every morning after boot up, I have to re-establish it. I use CCleaner upon boot up, but cannot figure out which cookies to keep (if that is the solution).

Chosen solution

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

Remove Checkmark from Firefox in CCLeaner settings. CCleaner might be responsible for Clearing you Firefox Browsing History, Session History and other Histories. After that check this:

Check and tell if its working.

The actual solution was to un-check the Session box under Firefox/Mozilla in the Applications Tab for Cleaner. Everything is now hunky dory. :)
