Running OS X 10.6.8 and pinned tabs aren't there when I open Firefox. Also, I have it set to show tabs from last time when I start Firefox but instead it just opens one tab for my homepage. How do I get this functionality to work?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check
App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.
- Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
