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...

A solution for this is to go to the menu and "Quit Firefox" or something like that. That closes all the windows at once, and they all come back

In case you didn't know, you can restore windows under History-->Recently closed windows.

Yeah, I run into this sometimes. Just need to be careful to use Ctrl-q to close all windows rather than closing them one-by-one.

The pins are part of the window, so.. You can access old closed windows through the history menu, which I believe works after starting a new session after quitting it.

That's unfortunate. I'm running firefox as flatpak and the problem is not there

How strange. Thought this is a general issue or 'feature'. Maybe you close it FF differently as me? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1291164
