As a user, I'd like to see the tabs I have pinned on the Open Tabs view.

This seems more like a bug than an enhancement. My expectation is that a tab list would include pinned tabs like the tab overflow menu. Seeing the pinned tabs in the open tab lists also helps to make it clear which window is which. In terms of consistency, pinned tabs are included in "Tabs from other devices" list and when closed in the "Recently closed tabs" list.

Agreed, pinned tabs should be included in the list, should probably be always sorted to the top? And should have some visual indication that they are pinned.

[Eric Pang [:epang] UX]

Added a UX spec for Pinned tabs in Open tabs here on figma.
https://www.figma.com/file/wP9MY9KJn9xqPf140lTvTv/Fx-View-Specs-2023?type=design&node-id=6713%3A490572&mode=design&t=n4n7LSdb7XFjDfNV-1

Note: this section of the spec also includes indicators, which are not part of this bug and will follow in the future based on product priority.

I'm not currently working on this.

Decision from UX according to [:epang]: We should only show pinned tabs as the grid view on the Open Tabs page. On the Recent Browsing page, pinned tabs should show in list form if they are one of the top 5 most recently opened tabs.

For a couple of reasons:

1. Wanted to respect that the recent browsing was recent
2. Users have access to the pinned tabs in their tab strip
3. It would be difficult to decide which pinned tabs to show if there are different pins across different windows

but if we start seeing the need (if bugs start coming in), we'll have to do more thinking.

After discussion with a11y team, we've decided to implement this as one fxview-tab-list component containing two sublists:

• One with role="tablist" and name="Pinned Tabs" containing buttons with role="tab"
• The other containing unpinned tabs as rows with links and the 3-dot menu button as they exist today

Users will be able to tab to the first unpinned tab in the list and then use arrow left/right to get through the list or arrow down to the unpinned tabs list.
