Why does Firefox get rid of my app tabs every time I close it?

I make app tabs when I open Firefox, then I close it later. Then the next time I open Firefox, the app tabs are gone.

Are you exiting Firefox File>Exit, or closing Windows one at a time.

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

Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.
