- Rated 4 out of 5by NZ Chris, a month agoTab Session Manager has been a lifesaver, as Firefox's inbuilt Restore Session frequently doesn't restore all the tabs from the last session and puts tabs in wrong containers - TSM does this all perfectly. One annoyance - tabs restored with TSM seem to display the tab tooltip only once when hovering over a tab. There is no tooltip when hovering over the tab a second time. (I'm using Tree Style Tabs).
Update: discovered that tooltips always appear over over tabs that are in a container, but only once over tabs not in a container. - Rated 4 out of 5by Klaas de Eindbaas, a month agoNice but why is there nowhere in the settings stated (or a "switch-account") to which account I'm syncing? I can find out so it's not a huge problem, but it's also not a huge problem I think to just implement a mentioning somewhere in the settings ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tianna, 2 months agoHas stopped saving sessions automatically; must do so manually. Only sometimes registers when a window is closed and saves then.
EDIT: deleting any re-uploaded sessions seems to allow the extension to automatically save again. - Rated 4 out of 5by Teagan, 3 months agoI've been using Tab Session Manager by the developer sienori for years, and it has truly improved my browsing experience. This extension is incredibly user-friendly, offering a seamless way to save and restore browsing sessions with just a few clicks. Whether I'm working on a project, researching, or simply browsing for leisure, I can easily pick up right where I left off without worrying about losing any important tabs.

What sets Tab Session Manager apart is its versatility and thoughtful features. The ability to categorize and organize sessions, combined with the automatic backup functionality, ensures my sessions are always safe and accessible. It's highly customizable, allowing me to tailor it to my specific needs.

- Rated 4 out of 5by dr spear, 6 months agoI've been using this add-on for years and I'm so happy with it , the only problem is that when I automatically loads the session at FF start , it opens a new window other than the one I already opened , I wonder if there is an option to make the saved sessions load in the same window I have already started
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ethor53, 7 months agoIs it possible to make an option to lock the extension so it requires a password to open your sessions?

- Rated 4 out of 5by hmijail, 8 months agoBEWARE: the addon still seems to work OK for me, but since ~2021 improvements basically stopped and new changes are mostly to the list of donors. There's currently over 400 issues open in GitHub, and growing, with no answers. Cloud sync says it works, but not really. Time to start looking for alternatives.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Matt, 8 months agoSince Firefox sidelined Michael Kraft's best session manager, I've been wondering why Firefox doesn't have its own session manager. Simply collect the session restore files and display them clearly, like in Michael Kraft's Manager. One click and all the files are there again, even with the option to go forward and backward in time in the tab if you have been in the tab for a long time.
The best alternative to it is your Tab Session Manager. But it has neither the function to select individual tabs to restart or delete using a checkbox per entry or a select all/none checkbox, nor the option to move or organize tabs into other windows using drag and drop. It's also annoying that the favicons aren't loaded when you restart quick, so you no longer have any clues as to what was where until you load every single tab again. It shouldn't be too difficult to load these pictures, just like the other changes mentioned... Why not do it like Kraft and use the session store .json files to quick launch the tabs with favicons and site informations. That would be the best present you could make to the firefox world. :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Олексій, 8 months agoIs it possible to save a session as bookmarks, like in the Session Sync extension?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18020650, 10 months agoWorks as advertised, except it does not restore window size and location across multiple monitors.
- Rated 4 out of 5by EvgeniX, 10 months agogreat add-on, but please add other sync options! currently only google is supported which collects personal data :(

- Rated 4 out of 5by robsku, a year agoHaven't tested yet, but finally found an extension that's almost replacement for the official Mozilla extension Session Manager, which didn't get a version for new extensions when legacy extension support was removed.
Only thing I'd love to have is the option to replace Firefox session restore with this so that when starting Firefox, it would open Tab Session Manager as popup - like Session Manager. You could there pick a session, AND unselect tabs if you wanted to leave some of them out. It also gave option to just start fresh, but of course you could load a session later. This is what I'd love to get when the browser starts, no loading previous session at startup but instead asking for one before opening browser windows (or maybe opening one empty browser window, then either loading selected session on that and new windows (if the session is multi-window).
Also LOVE that it supports Tree Style Tabs!!! - Rated 4 out of 5by blackeagle1, 2 years agoAll if fine by my taste but....where are backup files stored in google drive ????
I see that sync works but... when i delete some sesions then clicking sync and all sesions come's back :/ - Rated 4 out of 5by kutepoyzon, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Vidix, 2 years agoIt was best extension after Session manager, but now its behavior is strange. It does not save more than 50 session and when you try save new one one of others disappear.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16212394, 2 years agois missing to encrypting session data with key3.db( in may case i use master password in firefox) or and option to encryptiing sessions
thanks a lot! - Rated 4 out of 5by Joe, 2 years agoVery useful. It would be quite a bit easier to use if there was a "Help / Use" section.
