    I tried them and had the same problem, FF4 seems a bit buggy, unless of course someone knows different.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Do you have the setting enabled: "Clear history when Firefox closes"?
    Tools > Options > Privacy

    If I have that setting enabled and when I pin an app using FF4 on Windows XP and close the browser and open again, the pinned app is missing.

    On Linux and FF4 I can pin an app successfully with the "clear history when Firefox closes" enabled.

    Other people running MAC have reported the same behaviour:

    What OS are you running?

    Leaving 'cookies' unticked in 'CCleaner' seems to work at the moment
