How do I restore Safari pinned tabs from a Time Machine backup in macOS 15.4.1?

hi

i wiped my ssd, installed a fresh 15.4.1 with a new user. forgot to save my pinned tabs in safari,

as i thought my icloud backup will restore them, which wasnt the case (only my bookmarks are restored)

i have a full tm backup of my last 15.4.1, can i copy back files from TM backup to restore my last sessions with all pinned tabs please?

i tried to copy back:

path:

user, lib.: the folder "safari" (there are additional folders like safariSafeBrowsing and SafariSandboxBroker, i neglected)

user, lib., pref.: "com.apple.Safari.plist"

user, lib., appl. support: -

user, lib., containers: there was nothing but aliases

it didnt work. do i need to reboot?

thanks
