Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0 (20180720101508) I have tested this report on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 18.04 x65 and OS X 10.12 using latest Nightly, Beta 62.0b9 and Firefox release build. I was able to reproduce the mentioned behavior only all tested platforms. When pinning a couple of tabs in a normal window, then open a private browser all pinned tabs disappear. After that opening, a new normal window nor a private one shows the pinned tabs. I would expect the pinned tabs to come back when the browser is opened again. Please change if this is not the correct component.

FWIW, this is pretty much expected behavior.
Component: Tabbed Browser → Session Restore
I don't see how this is expected behavior. If I pin a tab and close my firefox window, they come back when I reopen firefox. If I open a private window then close my normal window, then close my private window, pinned tabs reappear when the browser is reopened. However if you open a normal window after having closed all non-private windows, the pinned tabs do not reappear, and are lost the next time when firefox is opened. It is my understanding that pinned tabs should stick around and shouldn't be lost just because I happen to open and close private browsing windows in a particular order.

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
