What's the difference between Protect and Lock tabs?

I'd like to begin each new session with the same pinned tabs open to the landing page for each site. I'm not sure how to do that

You may set Firefox to start with tabs from the previous session. That is in the preferences | options from the menu button .

You may pin tabs from an option on right clicking them. Such pinned tabs are remembered with other tabs if you set Firefox to use the previous sessions tabs.

You may also be interested in customising and pinning sites to the newtab page.

Is this about Tab Mix Plus?
