Iceggiren i Tab Session Manager
Tab Session Manager sɣur sienori
Icegger-it ExplodingCore

sɣur ExplodingCore, há 8 anosI really like this add-on because I can use it on FF57+ and it's compatible with Tree Style Tabs.
I have to say though currently I find myself rarely really using it besides for saving the one session that i have every few minutes.
Main reason for that is the restore behavior. Like someone else already mentioned, when you restore a session it opens a new window and loads every single tab of the session.
Loading as in actually opening and displaying each webpage.
It would be much better to have it open the tabs "unloaded" like when you initially start FF.
Next thing would be a few more options and functionalities.
- Prompt me for a session to load on start.
- Make sessions more like dynamic savestates, so i can overwrite them. E.g. I have a session 'General'. When I load that the manager should "know" that the session is loaded and later when the window is closed or the session saved it should save the changes that were made during the session was loaded into that same session state.
Right now you can only save a new session with same name but different timestamp.
- Give option to only save current window or a selection of windows to a specified session. So one can work with multiple sessions at the same time.
- Give option to load session to current window or open in new window / attach to current session or open as independently loaded session.
- use standard UI font
- introduce groups
- save and restore per tab history
With all of this it would be perfect (and basically a clone of legacy add-on "Session Manager")
I know it's a lot to ask and some things aren't even possible yet due to Mozilla not releasing the needed API.

- Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 19038938, há 7 dias20250607 It does the job as it should! No complaint, till today that it double saves my open tabs. For example, if i have 2 windows and 50 tabs on each, it saves and opens 4x windows and 200 tabs. I use this extension for a long time now (years), without complaint. I don't know if it's firefox's fault or the extension (probably a firefox thing). Please take a look at this Sienori, thank you!
### 20250608 EDIT: I don't know what happened yesterday, but today it seems to be working fine as always, as it should, so i came back to edit the review, because, again, you've done an Awesome work sienori! You 've saved us many hours from being lost! Thanks, and please keep it up!! :-) - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur FreeSpirit, há 10 diasI tried Tab Manager Plus but found it USELESS.

- Yettwasezmel 2 ɣef 5sɣur Michael Wagener, há um mêsThe only problem that I have with TSM is that it does not play nicely with Simple Tab Groups at the moment. I use STG all the time, so unfortunately until this bug is sorted, TSM is a non-starter for me. Which is unfortunate because it is highly recommended and I would like to use it. (P.S.: I run a Mac using Monterey so quite old, nevertheless, this post is accurate as at 2025-05-08.)
- Works really well. I would like functionality to name windows and have that title persisting after saving and restoring a window or session. I'm using extension Window Titler that prefixes the name of the window with [MyTitle], followed by the name of whatever tab is currently open (so window title changes dynamically). That functionality is perfect, but that title is obviously lost when window is saved.

- Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Woopah, há 2 mesesThis is an excellent and convenient extension that I've used for years. It has saved me many times when I would have otherwise lost all my tabs. I love that I can create manual and automatic saved sessions and even back up to the cloud or export to a local file.
If possible, I would really love the ability to backup up tab groups. I know that it is a really new feature and I don't know if extensions have the ability to do that, but it would be very helpful.
I think that it would also be nice to have a feature to pin some sessions to the top of the list to make them easily accessible. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur CommissarMouse, há 2 meses
- Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Bear, há 2 mesesThis extension is almost but not exactly quite what I am looking for. I really really dig the idea but the way that sessions work essentially just makes this a more complicated history tab. I would like the option to update and overwrite an auto save instead of creating a whole new save. With autosave a new save is created that overwhelms manually created sessions. I would expect the behavior that each window is an independent save and duplicates are not created. Additionally with events such as window and browser closing, the save feature creates multiple identical and redundant sessions.
- Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Chris Vienna, há 2 mesesTab Session Manager has been working largely without problems for years.
However, since April 6, automatic saving is no longer carried out, neither automatic saving, nor regularly saving the session, nor saving the session when the browser or window is closed.
There are approx. 1800 open tabs - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur CODE, há 2 meses
