Thank you for the review! Due to some changes indeed stuff seems to have broken/no longer work. In addition, after some breaking changes FF side I proceeded with a different tab loading workflow to try and address some other issues. If you have other questions or would like to troubleshoot please email me. Though, do note, some URLs should never have worked. Please confirm whether the URL refers to one of these blocked formats:

Not exactly, no. You have to manually backup the saves and then on the other computer import them back in.

Sorry to hear you're having difficulty! Are you on a Windows machine by any chance?

Thank you for your review! To address your first point, I'm unsure what how you mean by configurable? Part of my reasoning for choosing the American date format is that it also matches valid characters for the name. I use a whitelist for allowable characters as a security measure. But, yes, also because I'm American and am used to the date format thereof. To your 2nd point, I'll admit I'm unaware of a FF API call to restore window sizes or positions. In addition, I really am trying to keep what data is used/preserved in the JSON blobs to a minimum for simplicity and convenience of upgrading when I must do so. I'd be happy to look over and accept a pull request if someone codes it out, though.

Thank you for your review!! I am unaware of a way to pull a tab's history. There is a "session" API that presumably pulls history but looks limited to only a tab that was closed and then opened. The "tab" or "tabs" API doesn't seem to have a history section.

EDIT:

I am also trying to keep the data that is exported as small and simple as possible.

Sorry, you are correct that pinned status isn't preserved. In addition, I'm unaware of such a setting I can reference in the FF API that let's me query/set it. Though, it certainly could exist. I probably wont add it unless someone requests a code merge for me to look at. This is an open source project and maintained with free time and motivation. =)

So glad you like!!

Ich bin glücklich das es dir gefällt!

Hello, thank you for your review! I'm very grateful for your feedback and would like to know how I can improve the interface? Additionally, you said it's on the "non-Recommended extensions" list? I am looking into remediating this as soon as possible and was unaware till now that this is the case... =/I think I know why but it will take some effort. Basically, it has to do with SweetAlerts which is at the core of the interface. There are a few design patterns used that were questionable and may be getting flagged.


EDIT - 02/29/2020 :

I have removed SweetAlerts library and have attempted to make the UI simpler to use. I believe the plugin should no longer say it's not recommended as well. Though, it might take time? I'm not sure but will keep looking into getting that part fixed.

Edit - 03/18/20 :

I've come to realize that this is a non-Recommended extension because Firefox wants users to use extensions that have been fully vetted. Basically, they want users to be aware that add-ons are powerful and they don't fully vet but a few that are very popular. I mistook the label as implying something was inherently wrong with my add-on but that is not the case. As a side note, thank you for using my add-on! I hope my changes have helped make the interface more user friendly! =]

Very happy to help out!! I've had the same issue of FF crashing and me losing tabs. This was the child born from desperation due to that kind of issue as I am pretty good at backing up sessions manually through this.

Thank you for the review and suggestions!

I do like the idea of having the option to not load all the tabs at once. Though, this can be quasi worked around by selectively opening tabs. In the context you are thinking of I see there being an actual underlying "session" that is being maintained. When I re-write this plugin to clean things up these will likely get implemented along with the auto saving functionality.

As for having the presence of mind to recover a crashed session, that is somewhat a challenge to implement and from a plugin standpoint probably harder yet. I'd need to research it a lot more.

EDIT 02/01/2020:
I have more or less refactored my code and am relatively happy with how it's structured. Per your suggestion, I added in the number of tabs in a session to the session list item fields. I hope you've played with the selective load option to resolve your issue of loading a session causing all the tabs to load at once.

I haven't gotten to the last suggestion you had where one could set a timer to auto save sessions or have some kind of recovery mechanism if/when Firefox crashes. Either of these will require more tweaking with how this code is implemented. I made a booboo in using SweetAlert and how I set it up. My refactoring has mostly linearized the flow between the files but decoupling SweetAlert is still a task I'm not looking forward to.

Top Left button let's you save a session. If you hover over the buttons, it'll tell you what they do too.

Here is the application being used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBfaonM3tPQ


EDIT - 02/29/2020 : I have done a complete UI re-work and hope you might reconsider using the addon.... Thank you if you do!

Zaktualizuj wtyczkę. wersja 0.2.0 dodaje selektywne zapisywanie kart i edytuje teraz umożliwia zapisanie nowej sesji lub edycję edytowanych kart.

thanks greg... -.-

thanks paul!! Glad you use it. =]
