In some occasions; for instance, when I don't leave the browser open long enough and close it again; then upon reopening the browser lost all my pinned tabs. Does anyone know why this happens and what I could do about it? Using favorites to reopen them is an option, but I find it tedious to have to repin them.
How can I tell my browser that these are my pinned sites; so, please don't mess with them?

When you open the browser, try pressing CTRL+SHIFT+T. This will open old tabs, and I believe it will restore your pinned tabs. Others still seem to have this problem as well.

2This only works if the windows with the pinned tabs was the last open chrome window. – markus – 2014-08-22T06:47:00.327

@Alex I'm aware. However, I'm still having this problem today, and the StackExchange sites function as a QA archive, not a forum. Thus, posting a relevant answer to a question is still valid no matter how old it is. – lunchmeat317 – 2013-05-14T15:46:57.650
1I see, I was just pointing out what I thought was an old issue - since you didn't say you were still facing it, it seemed to me that this was only an issue in a 1 year old version of the software. I myself have answered old questions that were no longer an issue because someone bumped it for no reason, but since you're still facing this problem I guess it's recent.

This happened to me once too often.
My solution is fairly simple -
Note: Extension was last updated: 22 December 2014, Size: 4.32KiBPin all tabs extension and all the tabs are restored as before.

I got a solution.
move your cursor over history.
It will now show you the no. of tabs that were pinned. In my case there were 10 so It showed in history "10 tabs" . I clicked on it and it re-opened my all the 10 tabs that I pinned earlier.

getting lose pinned tabs from history worked for me, thank you. – sddk – 2017-06-08T07:35:42.410
Thank you very much. Nevertheless, why does this (losing of pinned tabs) happen at all? Bug or feature? – guettli – 2020-01-16T08:27:48.887

Right click on top bar where pinned tabs kept and click 'restore'.Works for me.

4That's a ridiculous answer. That "Restore" is a Windows option that restores the window to its original dimensions and position. – Tom Auger – 2014-07-23T14:08:27.653
1Maybe he meant "Reopen closed tabs" – Petah – 2015-01-26T20:08:10.773
Highly active question, I will need 10 more reputation, but I can tell you that, just go to history - as all pinned tabs get loaded at the very beginning, they will be at first of any session, so click on those links, pin them again.. – Maifee Ul Asad – 2019-12-09T05:03:10.007
I'm experiencing this lesser these days, but will let it open for others that have the problem. – Tamara Wijsman – 2012-04-24T08:39:54.060
