Can you see if selecting a session other than the first one on the list and then restore would work? The default selected item in the session list is the first one.

Appreciate the reviews. It takes time and effort to write them. I don't mind the low rating and criticism. The feedback help to address some of the shortcomings of the project. What I don't like is people using rating as a hostage hijacking tool to make demand. I changed the license from GPL to closed source for the exact reason. People feel very entitled to open source projects, think they "own" them, and can make demand to the developers. Really, the open source developers owe nobody nothing. They already donate their time, effort, and creation to the public; they don't need more headache. Making it closed source stops all these trouble.

I understand your concern about the permissions and I will spend some time to review the need for the permissions to see if they can be cut back (that would entail a time consuming process of turning off each permission and see what breaks). From what I remember, the "Access your data for all websites" permission was needed to run script on the webpages to set the URL to load the page, for lazy page loading. Also the "cookies" permission will prompt the same message. Access to cookies is needed to get the container "cookieStoreId" property, for saving and restoring container setting of the tabs.

Pre-Quantum Firefox 56 is too outdated and has too many issues for this extension to continue support it. Sorry.

I really take exception to this unfair review comment and its insinuation.

- First of all, I would encourage anyone not to use an extension if there's any doubt about it, including this one.
- Second, Mozilla has put in place a very rigorous review process to prevent malicious extensions. I went through it and it's no joke.
- Third, people underestimate how strong the new extension framework , the permission system, and the extension digital signing process Mozilla has put in place to prevent malicious attack since Firefox 57. I encourage you to look into the extension development process and see how things work.
- If people think some source code they review on Github would be the same as the extension installed on their machines, they're at best naive and at worst misleading others with a false sense of security. I really doubt their ability to do a proper security audit.
- All source code of all Firefox extensions are publicly available for review. And they are digitally signed to prevent tampering. If one has some basic knowledge about Firefox extension, one can start reviewing the code right the way.
- Github's purpose is for sharing source code and managing project development.
- I developed this extension mainly for my own use and thought others might find it useful so I shared it. I would care less about the rating. If you think a low rating would force me to put the source code on Github, you are sadly mistaken. I will never put the source code on it.
- In fact, the source used to have a GPL license. I've just changed it to closed source because of this review.

By default Session Boss does lazy loading of tabs when restoring session, to prevent a massive reload "storm" taxing the system resources. The tabs are only really loaded when they are clicked to activate subsequently, which is consistent with Firefox's behavior when restoring a session at startup after a crash. Lazy loading can be disabled via a setting in the Preferences page. In that case, all tabs will be loaded right the way.
