How to include pinned tabs in the Home Page setting?

I want to define pinned tabs in my homepage.

I rarely use the homepage now, but when I do I get all of the tabs I use, but none of the pinned tabs.

How do I define my homepage as including pinned tabs?

Thanks

Dave

I am not sure that may be done. There is a workaround of sorts.

Pinned tabs are stored with the session information and you will see them if instead of using opening from a home page you opt to open with the last used windows and tabs.

You may have multiple pages as a homepage. The additional pages open as plain tabs. You could open the sites that would otherwise be pinned by adding them to your HomePage option. Use the "pipe" key to separate the listed pages.

So you should be able to include the sites you used as pinned tabs, but instead as ordinary tabs. Just right click and pin them when you first look at them or as soon as you have restarted.

Pinned tabs are tied to a specific window, so if you open a new window that shows the home page then this window doesn't get (inherit) the pinned tabs from the parent window (each window can have its own set of pined tabs).
