by Firefcx user 11712425, 8 years agoGreat extension, though there's at least one bug and improvement I'd like to mention:
Bug:
When a saved session contains 2 windows, if the second window only contains an "about:newtab" tab, then clicking on it in the list opens the page within Tab Session Manager's pop-up window instead of the browser window.
Improvement:
I have hundreds of tabs in a single window. Browsing the list of all tabs per window could be more convenient if you could collapse the list of Window 1's tabs to quickly see the tabs in Window 2. This could be done by clicking Window 1's favicon. You could also include a setting that if a session contains more than one window, collapse all windows in the list by default. This would make it faster to get to a given window should you have multiple of them in a saved session.
Another suggestion would be to allow clicking on the window's name e.g. "Window 1" to open the entire window. This way you can restore just one of the windows in a saved session. Alternatively, "Window 1" could act as the collapse/expand functionality mentioned above, and an " - Open" link added to the right of it (this may be better UX design because the distance between the favicon and the "Window 1" word is quite small which could lead to errors such as accidentally opening a Window with hundreds of tabs).
Thanks!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Katherine Howell, a month agoOne of the best extensions I've installed. Simple, effective, and doesn't bloat the browser at all.

- Rated 3 out of 5by kone, a month agoBetter than Firefox's built-in backup, but unnecessarily complicated!
I don't see the point of many of the features. Unfortunately, there's no help section to clarify this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mimrix, 2 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14498287, 2 months agoFrom the volume of open issues and the lack of activity on Git, It looks like Sienori has either abandoned this extension or doesn't have the time to maintain it. April 26.

- Rated 1 out of 5by SweatTechnique, 3 months agoFor years, this add-on has suffered from a persistent bug: after an unknown background action, the "Open" button in the Saved Sessions Manager suddenly stops working. I’ve spent several hours troubleshooting, but the technical root cause remains elusive.
Here is what I have established so far:
Profile Corruption: Something is corrupting the user profile. Creating a fresh profile resolves the issue, but only temporarily.
No Add-on Conflicts: I have 100% ruled out conflicts with other extensions.
Clean Install: The issue is not caused by leftover data; a full, clean re-installation of Firefox did not fix it.
The most important point: While I cannot pinpoint the exact trigger in the code, I am able to reproduce the bug reliably. I am happy to assist with further questions or testing. - Rated 5 out of 5by thwei1111, 3 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Sinned, 3 months agoI normally really like and enjoy this add-on, but there is a horrible bug, which from time to time deletes all sessions and lefts a blank session manager. I dont know if it has to do with updates or something like that. But just today after a long time not saving my sessions in a separate file they are gone.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Saul He, 4 months agoIt used to work fine on Firefox mac, now nothing happens when you click OPEN or OPEN IN NEW WINDOW.
Hopefully, it will get fixed soon. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13541515, 4 months agoFundamentally useless. 'Open' button for saved tabs cannot be coaxed to work, at all. F$^# this piece of s#$^%.
