I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

I appreciate the effort to explain it but dude, that's all totally foreign to me. You guys literally speak different languages. I learn the software and make it do what I want with the names they give me. I'll learn enough to be dangerous if something really goes wrong and I would never touch the about:config unless someone told me exactly how to do it. I'm a software user kind of person but glad people who know their shit like you exist or there would be no software to use. On just the software side, it changes so fast or I have to use a different one that I retain just enough to get the work done on a project and then let it go or I would go crazy. I use a lot of different software, lol.
That's fair; it's literally a math/computer science/computer engineering topic.
Personally, I'm of the opinion that more of that sort of thing ought to be taught to everybody in K-12 (because you aren't really computer literate unless you can automate workflows, if not by "programming" then at least by scripting), but that's a rant for a different thread.
Anyway, I'm sorry about Firefox not behaving the way you want it to, and hope that it improves for you in the future.
I agree that it probably should be taught but we're fighting for books not being banned. Strange times.
Thanks for the good luck and trying to help, I'll have to go to mozilla it looks like.
