Tab Session Manager by sienori

by Firefox user 13880448, 8 years agoSeems to work fine..and most importantly also seems to successfully import "Session Manager" extension session files
In my installation it saves and restores tabs in their original order, no problems there.
I have 3 Questions:
---------------------
1) Where are the TSM session files saved? (their folder location)
...the "storage.js" file in the extension's folder does not include any relevant information.
2) Will "Session Manager" session file compatibility be maintained in the future?
3) Can the TSM session be converted to "Session Manager" files?
I just recently spent a week trying to salvage my sessions (several hunded tabs a piece) from another extension in FF Quantum, which were lost after a crash following an extension update.
Recently I saw a similar issue happen with TSM...
..I am terrified of this happening again because my work (researcher) depends on keeping and organizing sessions of saved tabs...
so I will be maintaining both a Quantum and a Gecko installation with SM installed, just in case...
I need a sort of "insurance policy" to maintain "mental health" and prevent professional disasters...
...of course one thing I can do is use my Cyberfox/Waterfox installation to restore a TSM session and then re-save it in Session Manager...
Since you have obviously considered the issue of SM compatibility, if there is any info you can share on this, I would be grateful

- Rated 1 out of 5by SweatTechnique, 25 days 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, a month ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Sinned, a month 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, a month 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, a month agoFundamentally useless. 'Open' button for saved tabs cannot be coaxed to work, at all. F$^# this piece of s#$^%.

- Rated 3 out of 5by User, 2 months agoIt prevents the device from receiving tabs that were shared with it... other than that, I like it, but that feature is more important than this add-on.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Bobby Digital, 2 months agoIt's highly customizable, and it works exactly as I want it to.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Simisu, 2 months agoWorks well for me so far.
Please add support for local PDFs, so they can be reopened when restarting the browser. - Rated 2 out of 5by shishi, 2 months agoI am a paid user of other browsers. I tried the Firefox version, but I encountered a few frustrating points. For example, when restoring a session at startup, the window shifts slightly to the left. It would also be nice if it supported title-changing extensions like Window Titler, but this might be unavoidable until Firefox officially supports it.
I hope for future improvements! - Rated 3 out of 5by Neoslayer, 2 months agoAlmost does the job, but tab groups are destroyed, as others have mentioned.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Quantum, 2 months agoFirefox closed all my tabs without warning and couldn't restore them from its own session backup files, even though those files contained all my tabs. This extension helped me restore them all easily, which saved me from having to restore a large number of tabs manually, one by one.
If this extension wasn't there, I would have replaced Firefox with another browser. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ufnal, 2 months agoOnce every few months, it randomly dedices to delete all my sessions and reset my settings. Absolute trash.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19686199, 3 months agoThis extension used to be great! I donated a few times. Today I had to force restart my computer and Firefox came up with no tabs! I checked the Tab Session Manager and the last save it had was from over a year ago! I guess the auto save doesn't work any more and all the sessions I did have saved are gone. This extension is totally broken now.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15562998, 3 months agoDid not save the "tree" from "tree stile tabs", and I did make sure to have "Restore tree state of Tree Style Tab." checked.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19661383, 3 months agoUnlike the session restore built into Firefox, this add-on does not retain or associate an individual tab's browsing history when a new browser session is launched. I use this quite a lot, so I may look for a different add-on which does support this.
- Rated 3 out of 5by DrWhoFan13, 3 months agoWould've rated it higher had the manual export setting functionality included the sessions I had saved.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Dex Luther, 3 months agoDoesn't save tab groups. Also says it supports importing JSON files from Session Buddy, but it does no such thing. It gives me a read failed error.
