    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

      It works great in combination with the keyboard shortcuts for opening the first, second, … eighth tab, which is Alt+1 (or +2, +3, etc.) for me, but I think is Ctrl or Cmd instead of Alt on other OS’s.

      Lovely feature, been using it for years 👌 I have my calendar, email, homeassistant and zabbix pinned

      They also don’t move when the normal tab bar becomes scrollable due to too many tabs open, which is pretty neat IMO

    Pinned Tabs allow you to always keep your favorite web apps like Facebook, Gmail and Twitter…

    I think they missed their target audience here

    Pinned Tabs don’t have a close button so you can’t accidentally close them.

    I wish they were immune to ctrl + w.

    It’s pretty useless since the pinned tabs are lost when the browser is closed.

    I was hoping there was a better solution than keeping the tabs I always have open in a bookmark folder and doing an open all bookmarks every time I start firefox.
