Pinned Tabs allow you to always keep your favorite web apps like Facebook, Gmail and Twitter…
I think they missed their target audience here
I don’t think we are the target audience because we don’t really need to be told what pinning a tab does.
I just discovered that you can pin tabs, which means that they are always loaded when you open firefox. This is a game changer for me. Whenever I open firefox, all my most visited tabs are automatically loaded and there’s no loading time anymore. Of course I still need rules for cookie autodelete but it’s awesome!
e.g. you can create a shortcut for about:config
However, they disappear and are not loaded anymore if you have multiple Firefox windows open and the window with the pinned tabs is not the last Firefox window one you close…
Pinned Tabs don’t have a close button so you can’t accidentally close them.
I wish they were immune to
ctrl + w.Hmm, they are for me. It just switches to the left-most unpinned tab.
On my private machine, it’s as you say! I’ll have to check at work, that’s where I I thought I had the problem – which I now think might just have been me thinking the tab closed because of the tab change. That’d be a relief, because I’m now careful when closing tabs.
