How can I ensure that the tabs I pin as apps get saved for when I reopen Firefox?

On my desktop computers (Macs), they get saved. On my laptop (also a Mac), they do not. Is there a setting a need to change? Thanks, Nick

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 "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is also possible to use:

  • Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
