Tab Session Manager by sienori

by Firefox user 13572668, 8 years agoSo far I like TSM, it works for me without the problems others have been reporting. I am coming from the old Session-Manager and now I miss only a few but IMO important things at the moment.
First and for me most important would be the option to choose where to store your sessions. For example I go out to clients to show them some things on my laptop which I have I have previosly preselected in the office on my desktop. If I could save my sessions outside in the cloud I would have my presentation at a fingertip.
Also I would very much like to see a 'save window' feature, like there was in old Session Manager.
To use an anolgy, a session might be seen as a directory with the single windows as files. For effective filemanegement these extended features would IMO be needed.
As a minor perfomance thing I might mention that I miss the window oriented start of session-manager somewhat, it seems to be a lot slower to open each tab one after the other (at least on 7 windows with 250+ tabs that I've just imported as a test).
Anyway I look forward to the further development of this very much needed addon!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jackie Daytona, 6 days agoCurrently, this add-on just duplicates the saved windows I had open and doubles up on my memory usage. It doesn't seem like this is needed anymore with Firefox's native support.
- Rated 1 out of 5by aedgsegsfvw, 8 days agoWARNING!!!!! If you have more than 10 tabs open, this will overload the extension. As a self-defence mechanism, the extension deletes the saved session.
It cannot import a saved session containing more than 10 tabs. - Rated 5 out of 5by senoa, 18 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Harry Btor, 19 days agoIn the case of tab groups, this add-on does not preserve original tabs grouping while importing a session: it imports all tabs uniformly, i.e. without any tab grouping. Dear developers, please, correct this fault. P.S. Yet pinned non-grouped tabs are imported correctly (as pinned).

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lebelon91, a month agoWorked great for a long time, but in the last month or so, the "autosave sessions" feature hasn't worked at all. I've checked my sessions to try to find windows/tabs I wanted to go back to, and the last thing saved was over a month ago even though I know I had Firefox at least set to restore previous windows. But this extension didn't save ANYTHING over the last month+ even though I had it set to do so, so that feature doesn't do anything anymore apparently. I've lost dozens of sessions due to either a bug or recent updates, but either way this is bullshit.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18929604, 2 months agoI can't figure out if sessions are tied to virtual desktops when they are saved and is it really important to me

- Rated 1 out of 5by Painexotic, 2 months agoGarbage. Stopped working months ago. Literally never saves tabs. Don't waste your time. It also randomly deletes your sessions. Don't be tricked by the good reviews btw. They're old reviews from years ago when it actually worked.

- Rated 2 out of 5by dankini, 2 months agoMisiing the main feature I was looking for - namely support for FF's tab groups. It seems the Chrome version has it. Please add functionality for FF.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Fridah, 3 months agoEven when the firefox history allows to open closed windows and tabs, there are occasions that can brick this feature.
This addon saved my life already once - and its a good reminder to clear my tabs everytime save enother session with 900 tabs :O - Rated 5 out of 5by walkingice, 3 months agoby using this add-on, I could safely close lots of tabs after working, and restore those tabs in next day. Love it!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Nata K, 3 months agoIt has many features... but lacks the most important one: it saves open sessions as new ones, not updates them!!
Still cannot find a replacement for the old good Sync Tab Groups........ :'( This one is NOT.
