What happened?

More than one window was open. The first window had pinned tabs. Other windows had no pinned tabs. I closed the first window. Then I closed the other windows. When I opened the Zen browser again, there were no pinned tabs (unpinned). Pinned tabs disappear.
Clear history or close tabs settings are off. Tabs don't close, old tabs reopen every time I open the browser. But the pinned tabs did not open, nor were they fixed.
(No pinned tabs when opening other windows. I want pinned tabs to open in every window).

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Version

I found related threads that might be helpful:

• Persistent pinned tabs across windows/sessions #1461

• Pinned tabs gone after reopening the app #2011
  This issue suggests checking if the "Clear history when Zen browser" setting is turned on, as it might have been toggled automatically after an update. This setting can cause pinned tabs to disappear after reopening the app.

• ALL pinned tabs eraised when reopening Zen [Twilight] #1980
  The issue was fixed for the next release, as noted in the comprehensive report.

It even closed the window where I only had 1 pinned tab. When using Ctrl + Shift + T (reopen closed tab) all pinned tabs reappear in the correct place
