Tabs in v 29.0 can't be saved
Just upgraded to version 29.0. Had to reenter tabs by clicking on the "Pin tab" using right click. After reentering a tab, I right click on it, and it continues to show "Pin tab" instead of the expected "close tab". Then when I exit firefox and open it again, all tabs have disappeared. Please help, as I had depended on the tabs of ornery websites reappearing so that I would not have to go through their flawed login processes.
Cheers

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
