When i close firefox and reopen it, my app tabs dont appear when i reopen firefox. How can i fix this?
I set my app tabs when I started firefox. But the next time I open firefox, the app tabs do not reopen, I have to reset them every time I open firefox.

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 the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.
- Firefox/Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.
Thanks for that. I can now get them to open, but they dont stay as app tabs. they go back to regular window pages. Is there a way to fix this?
