- مقيّمة بِ ٤ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 15093646, منذ ٥ أعوامVery useful, but I'd like a configuration option to allow access to private windows only for manually initiated captures, not the scheduled nor the on-change ones. Also, it shouldn't clobber those few scheduled and on-change captures with the useless "0 windows 0 tabs" ones when browsing in private mode. Being able to adjust the number of automatic saves kept wouldn't hurt.
- مقيّمة بِ ١ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 15079551, منذ ٥ أعوامUsing FFNightly (69.0a1 (2019-06-21) (64-bit)), last updated some seconds ago, I get: "This add-on requires a newer version of Firefox (at least version 63.0). You are using Firefox 52.0." Thats really not what I expected. :-(
The version test should perhaps allow for Developer an Nightly versions, too? - مقيّمة بِ ١ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 15078263, منذ ٥ أعوامAfter half year of using this manager, i've simply lost everything after firefox auto update

I wish I could disable 15min intervals, I am just fine with once per few hours. But as long as it won't write to disk like crazy I am good. - مقيّمة بِ ١ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 14944266, منذ ٥ أعوامWorks. Once. After the second restart all Windows just open on the first screen, on top of each other.

نُشرت منذ ٥ أعوامAre you using multiple monitors? Firefox has problem restoring windows to the secondary monitor. All windows will be restored to the primary monitor, on top of each other. - مقيّمة بِ ٤ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 14785595, منذ ٥ أعوامArguably the best session manager for Firefox. The only extra feature I would like to have is to connect to GitHub and save the session data in a repository.

نُشرت منذ ٥ أعوامThanks for the idea. For privacy protection, this add-on does not perform network operation to any remote website, with its network permission turned off to prevent accidental data leaking. Saving data to GitHub would breach that promise.
As an alternative, saving session data to bookmark will be available in the next version. Firefox's bookmark sync function allows the session data to be shared with different machines. - مقيّمة بِ ٣ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 14780592, منذ ٥ أعوامWith a little development, this extension could become the best session manager I've come across.
Off the bat, I'd say this extension is more for power users with multiple sessions.
In response to the developer on 4/23: (redacted)
Response 4/24: People use extensions in ways the developer didn't intend per se, in this case for managing saved sessions. IMO, text-based tab management is superior to thumbnails. Case in point: Session Boss has 3500+ users, TipTab 263.
Until I find another text-based manager, this is it. For an example of a text-based session manager elegantly handling the relationship between saved and running tabs, Session Buddy (Chrome) allows you to save and close individual sessions and tabs, regardless of whether they're open or not. If a saved tab happens to be open, clicking on its bookmark in the manager will take you to the existing tab. Closing it in the manager will close the open tab.
Thank you for reading my comments, and I hope you'll consider these features in a future release.رد المطور
نُشرت منذ ٥ أعوامThanks for the feedback. Session Boss is set out to work with saved session data and not on the live running tabs, so it doesn't make sense to close the current running tabs on the browser. For working with current running tabs, there's another add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tip-tab/, that can do all kinds of things to the current running tabs and windows, including closing them. Cheer.
Edit1 (to the 2nd response): A saved session is a snapshot of tabs and windows in time. The current state of the running tabs and windows could have been changed completely. There's really no relationship between the two. Even if text based tab navigation is preferred, it would be added to Tip Tab, not to this add-on.
Edit2 (to the 3rd response): You have a good point. Text-based manager is easier to work with lots of tabs. Icon-based is more flashy. Power users would rather use text-based with denser information overall. There's a TODO item to add tree hierarchy to tabs in Tip Tab, and it can be done in text. Also Tip Tab is still in development, admittedly not actively at the moment, and the next goal is to integrate with the bookmark system to bring the concepts of active windows/tabs and inactive windows/tabs with grouping, along the line of task-oriented or topic-oriented grouping of tabs, may be using the concept of containers or desktops. When I get more time, I'll get back to it. - مقيّمة بِ ٣ من ٥كتبها FeRRyCyberLG, منذ ٥ أعوامIt seems to me an exceptional complement and all the functions that the own one implements, would be perfect if at least they worked the buttons of restoration that from their installation do not cause any effect, correct this and if not inform me of which complement or configuration I can have badly in the If it interferes, I would love to use its extension but if I do not see a solution I will eliminate it. Thanks in advance
- مقيّمة بِ ٤ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 14756647, منذ ٥ أعوامHas great potential, look clean and modern. Might look complicated as first but it really isn't. The add-on can open into a pop-up or full page launcher. Can auto backup sessions. This session/tab manager is a mile ahead of all similar add-on on firefox.
Though, import URLs option is very limited. The add-on can only read it's own import format, which left migrate users in the dirt. User can't manual insert URL either.رد المطور
نُشرت منذ ٥ أعوامCan you send a copy of the json file that failed the import to my email? Thanks.
BTW, import only supports data format of files exported by the Session Boss export command. It won't recognize any other formats. If you need to import data from other sources, please put them into the Session Boss exported session data format, which is a pretty straight forward format in json. - مقيّمة بِ ٥ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 11797152, منذ ٥ أعوام
- مقيّمة بِ ٣ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 12154843, منذ ٥ أعوامFF v68.01 x64 - SB v2.11.2
This addon saves the current tabs periodically like the old Session Manager.
This version still has problems, as the restored tabs get messed up.
Luckly the pinned tabs still start unloaded, despite what the changelog says.

old reviews:
FF v67.0 x64 - SB v2.11.1
This version seemed to work correctly, but instead it has the old problem of some sessions restoring only a blank tab (expecially with multiple windows).
FF v60.6 ESR x64 - SB v2.2
This addon seems to work, but it restores tabs in a reversed order, which is quite annoying.
FF v66 x64 - SB v2.10
All seemed to work well, until a few minutes ago, when I lost all tabs.
The old correct sessions appear in SB, but if I restore them I only get an empty tab..رد المطور
نُشرت منذ ٥ أعوامIs the restoring in reversed order with the Session Boss 2.2? Can you try it on the latest version 2.10? Thanks.
Edit: I believe the bug was caused by missing containers in the new browser. The session restore wasn't able to cope with undefined containers that its tabs were using. Please try out the new version 2.11. The new version fixes the bug and will ignore the missing container and restore the tabs in the default browser container.
Container migration across machines is a problem now because Firefox's container id is not portable across machines (across profiles). There's no API from Firefox to set the container id of a container; it's assigned sequentially by Firefox as a first come first set process. Containers need to be re-created manually and the tabs need to be assigned to the containers by hand in the new broswer. In future release, Session Boss will attempt to make container migration less painful with container restoration and batch tab assignment to containers. رد المطور
نُشرت منذ ٥ أعوامCurrently there's no way to disable logging. I'll add a setting in the Preferences page to configure the logging level in the next version.- مقيّمة بِ ٥ من ٥كتبها n28, منذ ٥ أعوامThis is really great, tons of useful options. Thanks for your work!
- مقيّمة بِ ٥ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 14716446, منذ ٥ أعوامAt the moment it is the best add-on for handling tabs in sessions when you also use containers. In other session tabs add-ons a session restore moves all tabs into the default container - I had 15 containers and approx. 350 tabs. It takes hours to move the tabs back to the right container - also because I did not found a good tool for "mass moving" tabs to containers. I had to do it one by one.
I made a littel test with the export / import function of session boss - it works! It did not crashes my tabs and containers. But importing into an other firefox (dev) does not work...I will ask the developer. - مقيّمة بِ ٥ من ٥كتبها Replicator, منذ ٥ أعوام
- مقيّمة بِ ٤ من ٥كتبها Firefcx user 11712425, منذ ٥ أعوامNo matter which restore function I use, only the very first tab is being restored and the rest are being ignored. It looks like a great addon but it simply doesn't do it's job. For now, this addon serves me as a backup list of my tabs for when Firefox's sessions restore fails. Firefox Stable v66.
-- EDIT -----------------------------------
Cant seem to reply to the response so I'm editing my review:
No difference. After some investigation, it seems that there must be a Firefox preference (perhaps via my user.js file) that is set causing the "bug" (disabling all addons did not help). Debugging this would require moving user.js elsewhere out of the profile directory, then opening Firefox and going through about:config, manually resetting all modified preferences: not ideal. Any idea which preferences you addon relies upon to be functional (and note them on the addon's page)?
When using this addon with a new profile, it works as intended.رد المطور

- مقيّمة بِ ٢ من ٥كتبها oehmsmith, منذ ٥ أعوامI've found good tab managers hard to find. This is one I settled on for FF since it has the functionality I'm looking for (I like to have lots of windows and tabs open). I would give it 5 stars for this reason. There are some bugs like the tabs that have the title but no URL. William W said it is due to the Lazy loading. But it doesn't always happen that way. So its a bug. I see the comment about FF 63+ fixes this. Perhaps it is and i haven't noticed. I'll be sure to look for this now. I appreciate a developer's time writing these addons. It must be tough to receive negative feedback. Kudos for putting it out there. A star is lost for saying "- In fact, the source used to have a GPL license. I've just changed it to closed source because of this review.". Not cool. It looses 2 stars because it has permission to "Access your data for all websites", which from my understanding could include passwords typed in to pages. I understand the Mozilla review process is sound though one still needs to ask why you need this permission. If anything William you need to state the reason why. I would think only "Access browser tabs" permissions are required. Sorry to give what started as a good review only 2 stars.

نُشرت منذ ٥ أعوامAppreciate 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. - مقيّمة بِ ٤ من ٥كتبها مستخدم فيرفكس 14595112, منذ ٥ أعوامGood, but consistently seems to restore windows in the wrong order, which really messes up my workflow.
