Addition after the original review.

I shut down Firefox and then restarted Firefox a little before midnight on Saturday 2025 / January / 04 , about 27 hours ago. On Sunday 2025 / January / 05 between 02:00 and 02:45, I looked at my computer's Download folder and noticed a folder that I had not seen before. I saw that the Tab Session Manager Auto Save folder had been created at 23:57 on Saturday, about the time I shut down and restarted Firefox. I then looked at the creation dates and times of the files in the three folders contained in the Auto Save folder. All files were created between 23:57 and 23:59 on Saturday.

The first file in the file list was named 2025-01-03 03-07-31 - FoxyTab Options #regular - [61{Redacted}-{Redacted}9-4{Redacted}-9{Redacted}-{Redacted}f].json, and it had a Created date and time of Saturday January 4, 2025, 23:58:13. Notice that the first part of the name is a date and time, specifically the date and time when Tab Session Manager created an auto save session. Notice also that the file's Created date and time is about 45 hours after Tab Session Manager created the auto save session contained in that file. Tab Session Manager should have saved the auto save session into a file and placed that file in the appropriate Auto Save folder at the same time that it auto saved the session.

DEAD!

dont work

The extension no longer stores any sessions. Its basic functionality is broken. The last update was almost 7 months ago. Has it been abandoned?

Hasn't been updated in almost 7 months and lots of outstanding bugs on their Github page. They just don't seem to care about this anymore. Look elsewhere.

I've used this addon for many years and I honestly love it, but I found an issue that unfortunately I cannot overlook at work- it doesn't save history. If you don't need your history after closing the browser then this is a 5-star addon, and that's why this still gets 3 stars despite the fact that I cannot use it anymore.

The default Firefox session manager saves the history of every tab, and that is incredibly important for me, and leaves me between a rock and a hard place. I have to use a cloud software for work. It logs you out every so often and when you sign in, it will generally bring you back to where you were; however, when you restart your browser it resets the session and after you login it lands you on the main page. If you have you tab history, you can navigate back to the previous page and continue where you left off, otherwise you're stuck with 50 useless tabs and a mess trying to figure out what you were doing. On the other hand the Firefox session manager can save only one session ad is incredibly inconsistent, it's a coin flip whether it will work after a crash and the only way to guarantee a session is saved is by killing Firefox from task manager. If you sign out of your Windows account, restart, or you OS crashes, and you forgot or where unable to kill Firefox from task manager, you're completely screwed.

If it were possible for this addon to save tab history I'd still be using it.

I just want the pinned tabs to remain open even without restoring the session. This does nothing more than create a more bureaucratic history, just like restoring the session.

Это хорошо. Отлично. В общем радует. Все звёздочки мира ваши

It's been broken for a few months now - and nothing actually works.

It works and it works well

Unfortunately it looks like this is not maintained regularly. It caused all favicons to disappear. It took me a good 20 mins to find it out and there's no doubt it was this extension causing that. It took me another 20 minutes to report the bug with all details on github, but after 2 weeks, still no response.

The best Session Manager for FireFox

Is there a way to save into the same session instead of creating new one every time I close window? It is more intuitive and more useful.
