Description
As far as I understand pinned tabs are supposed to be protected from closing, for exapmle Ctrl-W doesn't close a pinned tab in FF. However using the x key (removeTab command) closes it without even prompting.

Research direction
Start by tracing the removeTab command and its x key mapping, then compare its behavior with Firefox's Ctrl-W handling for pinned tabs. Reproduce the issue in Firefox with a pinned tab and verify that invoking removeTab no longer closes it or bypasses the browser's protection.
