- Rated 2 out of 5by Jay, 3 kuud tagasiIt does fine in remembering the tabs and windows I saved but when i backup a session and try to reopen it it only opens 10-50% of the tabs i had open, and i have to do the rest manually.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18285282, 4 kuud tagasiBetter than session buddy, the best session manager
Edit: LIMITED SESSION SAVES - 2 THUMBS DOWN - Rated 3 out of 5by Rujin parker, 6 kuud tagasi
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18187107, 6 kuud tagasiUsed to work fine until it randomly decided to wipe all my tabs. Nothing could be recovered. Stay away!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17861056, aasta tagasiAmazing. Best alternative to Session Buddy in Firefox. Supports Tree Style Tabs also. Perfect! I wish it could also restore favicons.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16024671, aasta tagasiVery good, saved me several times. It should be kept up-to-date. Automatic Scheduled Exports would be nice...

- Rated 1 out of 5by laurentparis, 2 aastat tagasiUsed to work ok but today ALL my saved user sessions simply vanished. With no apparent means to recover them. Thousands of tabs lost.
- Rated 2 out of 5by dafFDasd, 2 aastat tagasiHas option to open full page view as default. But no closing tabs nor windows is possible.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Seak T. F., 2 aastat tagasiEverything (GUI, etc) is nice. Except that it seems like it's unable to sync across computer, right?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14983551, 2 aastat tagasiIntially had the the problem off rare moments where all User sessions would get deleted from a crash or update. Incredible plugin though, i love it. Just make sure you get into the habit of always exporting (backing up) all your user sessions few times a week. Nevetheless, perfect plugin.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Hand-J, 2 aastat tagasiits really great if i can merge session, remove duplicate and many operation to clearing up and summarizing my session.... and i cant make storing size more than 99 sessioan?
- Rated 5 out of 5by SouzaRM, 2 aastat tagasiExcellent purpose.
Phenomenal UI/UX!
Unfortunately it has not been updated since Jun 7, 2019 (V. 2.11.2).
Effusive congratulations to the developer. - Rated 4 out of 5by T-01, 3 aastat tagasiIt's good, IMHO the best session manager for Firefox, but the problem is, it just lost all the saved sessions for no apparent reason -- and no, I don't have other profiles, I just checked.
To be fair, most (all?) other session managers seem to do that from time to time, at least judging by user reviews. Perhaps it's more of a Firefox thing than this extension's fault, I don't really know. So it's four stars on trust because I don't know who's to blame.
I wonder how does one make automated backups outside of Firefox to work around this issue. Is it enough to copy the files under browser-extension-data/sessionboss@william.wong? Can they be safely copied while the extension is running, or is that looking for trouble? Or can the export be automated somehow?
Besides this, there's a minor UI annoyance: the buttons icons, which look right in the screenshots, for some reason look horrible here, as if they are being badly resized. - Rated 5 out of 5by nomoreoperaforme, 3 aastat tagasiThis is an excellent add-on but it took me some time how to work it out. Not the most intuitive of apps. But has saved the day a few times now. Best of the session restorers i have tried.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16798532, 3 aastat tagasiIt is somewhat slow in my device, but I just have 4 gb. I love this extension, I'm always use it to order all of my different kind of works.
- Rated 4 out of 5by PBC, 3 aastat tagasiAfter closing Firefox I found a pop-up window from Microsoft was still open. Closing that saved it as my last session so I lost all my pinned tabs. Thanks to Session Boss, I was able to export the current session on my other PC then import it to this one. Everything has been recovered including favicons. Brilliant!
The only downside was that Firefox identified a couple of tabs as having errors and would not allow them to be restored. - Rated 5 out of 5by Andrew, 3 aastat tagasiI use this mainly before closing Firefox before rebooting my computer. The user session save works really well. I live how it saves the container tab being used. Great work - thank you!

- Rated 1 out of 5by TracyBueller, 3 aastat tagasiWas working OK for the most part. Sometimes would randomly lose sessions. But now it seems dead. Clicking the icon brings up an empty menu frame. And FF addons page says it needs containered tabs and asks to delete it, with no info on what containered tabs are or how to activate it....
- Rated 4 out of 5by Imanuel, 3 aastat tagasiI'm really pleased with this add-on! One big issue I noticed today, possibly related to the other review below me (luckily I exported a backup yesterday)... all of my user-saved sessions simply disappeared!
^^ I'm quite sure it happened right after I added a new container name to Mozilla's Multi-Account Containers. - Rated 1 out of 5by 1234567890987654321, 3 aastat tagasiDon't trust this app!
It used to work fine - until today: woke up with my computer having crashed and suddenly NO session was shown in Session Boss to be recovered anymore. Not one from last night, not even a single one from the months and weeks before. I had about 150 tabs open for work and they are now ALL lost!!!!
PS: I cannot even save a new session anymore now, something seems to be completely broken with this plugin... (v 2.11.2) - Rated 5 out of 5by ut0a6c, 3 aastat tagasi
