I randomly lose my pinned tabs and previous sessions in Firefox. It is really frustrating and it is causing me to lose time and work.

Everything works fine for month or so and then suddenly all is lost. No recently closed tabs, no recently closed windows, no pinned tabs, nothing! All I can do is go to History and try to find them there. This keeps happening for years it seams and I see that there are other having the same issues reported but they are being ignored.

Is this ever going to be even considered to be a bug?

I will probably migrate to Edge since I used it on my work PC and never had this issue.

As you can see from my screenshot, I have multiple versions of Firefox on multiple devices. They all have basically the same pinned tabs and I'm not having any issues. Can you show what your history settings are here? see screenshot I also would suggest running more than 1 version for Firefox so that your data is not in just 1 browser. The 1 time so far in 3yrs that Nightly did not restore my tabs after updating, I was able to send the tabs to Nightly from another browser.
