Chrome Version       : 6.0.423.0 (48687) Ubuntu

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Pin the tab by right-clicking the tab and choosing “Pin Tab”.
2. Close and open browser. Due to what looks like another bug, the pinned 
tabs will possibly not show (if that’s the case, rinse and repeat until 
they do -- I had to rinse and repeat about 5 or 6 times.).
3. Now unpin the tabs and close the browser.
4. Reopen the browser.

What is the expected result?

The tabs that were unpinned shouldn’t show when the browser is reopened.

What happens instead?

However, the pinned tabs are stuck on. No amount of unpinning will prevent 
them from coming up again next startup.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Looking in ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences, the pinned_tabs setting 
was still there and not being removed:

   "pinned_tabs": [ {
      "url": "http://one/url/
   }, {
      "url": "http://another/url/
   } ],

I've had some weird pinned tab problems in 6.0.408.1, might be related:

If I have an app window open (IE from "Create application shortcuts", not the new Web 
App feature) and pin tabs to another window, then close that window and reopen a new 
chrome window, the pinned tabs are gone.  Not very useful.

If I pin a tab in a single Chrome window and close it (with other tabs open), I have 
a closed pinned tab with some other normal tabs.  If I then close the window and 
reopen the window, the pinned tab reloads, instead of remaining pinned and closed as 
expected with a normal home page tab.  This also occurs if Chrome crashes with a 
pinned closed tab and restores; the closed tab reopens.

If I pin an App tab (now I'm talking about the new Web App feature this time), and 
then close and reopen the single Chrome window, the tab is a normal pinned tab which 
navigates not to the app's chrome-extension:// url that was pined, but to the 
corresponding http:// url as mapped in the app's manifest.json file.  Weird.  
Strangely, when Chrome crashes pinned App tabs are properly restored as App tabs.

I also experience the above behaviour where a closed pinned tab will load when the browser is restarted (but should have stayed closed).

I couldn't repro this on windows. Jeremy, what OS are you using?

Like the version number at the top of the bug suggests, I’m running Ubuntu. Via the chromium-daily PPA packaged by ~fta, I should add.

It looks like your preferences file isn't getting written during shutdown.

That said, I can't reproduce this for the life of me. Jeremy, can you still reproduce?

I've just started having this problem. Everytime I unpin the tab and reload the browser it's back.

Killing tasks in windows task manager did not solve the problem, nor did restarting the computer. I've just managed it though > Right click title bar > chrome task manager > killed all processes in there then closed the browser. Looks like it was a running plugin that was causing the issue.
