Are any closed windows available to re-open from the closed windows list? Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Library > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • "Library" toolbar button > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • (menu bar) History > Recently Closed Windows

By "pins" do you mean pinned tabs or pinned Top Sites on the new tab page?
