Pinned Tabs don’t have a close button so you can’t accidentally close them.
I wish they were immune to ctrl + w.
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…
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
