- Rated 5 out of 5by zampaz, 5 bliain ó shinReview Update 20-12-19:
Over the years I've come to regard Session Boss as critical resource for instantly assessing and organizing my research and work as well as maintaining a living history of my research.
I typically have more than 15 windows running with and average of 10-15 tabs each. At this moment I have 16 windows with 171 tabs,
Each window is related to a particular project I'm working as well as subjects of personal interest.
Session Boss is an integral part of my work flow and a huge time saver for me. Of particular merit is the session backup methodologies that Session Boss offers as well as the ability to export session data-I'm a developer. I hope others are using Session Boss for a work flow paradigm similar to mine even at a smaller scale.
"Finger tip" access to syntax references, type libraries, style guides. Electronic component suppliers, circuit design references, PCI bus specification standards. electronic components etc. Entertainment: Youtube sci-fi audio books, Favorite "real" (non-MSM) news sites and podcasts, Financial assets and trading brokerages and so on.
This is conjecture on my part but given a 50-75Mbs connection speed IMO a system with 16-32 gig and 6 cores would have sufficient resources to maintain 15+ open windows, 20 tabs each for others to Session Boss tab management to enhance their work (or play) flow as I do.

I love this extension! The ability to export/backup sessions is a feature that should NOT be ignored. Happily I found the export/import feature before having to roll my box back 3 weeks by restoring a system image. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15104223, 5 bliain ó shin
- Rated 5 out of 5by lzap, 5 bliain ó shinAny other review than five star is just wrong.
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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11797152, 5 bliain ó shin

posted 5 bliain ó shinCurrently 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.- Rated 5 out of 5by n28, 5 bliain ó shinThis is really great, tons of useful options. Thanks for your work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14716446, 5 bliain ó shinAt 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Replicator, 5 bliain ó shin

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sasha, 5 bliain ó shinI'll give 117 stars or even more if Session Boss supports TreeStyleTab's tree style tabs structure.

- Rated 5 out of 5by emoticonspicuous, 6 bliain ó shinA life-saver. I especially like the ability to create a session from a list of tabs in a specific window. You can remove or add tabs and simply update the previously created session. This is going to improve my general work-flow!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Milan, 6 bliain ó shinAmazing add on! Great intuitive interface. Active enthusiastic development.
In Mac, closing the firefox window by clicking the red button closes all the tabs while keeping firefox running in background, so automatic session restore does not work unless firefox is quit using Command+Q. Is it possible to restore the session automatically from the last on change backup state when firefox is started when there was no firefox window left. This will make closing and restarting firefox window in mac so smooth, you may make this feature optional in the setting.
FRQ:
1. Automatic session restore by the last on change backup (ie the last closed state) for the normal firefox quit (Command Q) and restart.
2. Restore last on change backup when firefox window opens when there is no existing firefox window. (this solves the continuity issue while closing firefox in mac using the red button.
3. Please change the logo to a simple and modern retina compatible logo. May be a hat, or goggles or anything which is easily discernible. (I could not believe this add on is so recent and active in development by first looking at the logo!)
Best Regards, Keep up the great work.
Milan - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13941292, 6 bliain ó shinExcellent. Convenient time saver. Useful feature set, thoughtful design, stable.
My use case is 2nd display which I use to monitor video streams, messaging, and social media while I work on primary display.
Great work.
FRQ:
1. Save browser window scroll positions with session.
2. Save audio mute/unmute state with session. - Rated 5 out of 5by S.J., 6 bliain ó shinI've been waiting for an addon that offer some these features (delete/edit/search for tabs, grouping ...) to come to FF for a long time ... Thank you for this excellent and feature-rich addon!
A few features that I hope you consider adding:
- Moving tabs between windows and/or sessions (helps organizing sessions and merging them).
- Using a full-page/tab to view sessions and modify them (makes handling multiple large sessions much easier).
- Option to save Private Windows (helps with browser crashes).
- Remember windows position in a multi-monitor setup.Developer response
posted 6 bliain ó shin- Moving tabs between windows and sessions is in the todo list, but I haven't figured out an intuitive way to move tabs over windows or sessions that are not visible on the same display pane.
- The popup window size is made as big as Firefox allows. Moving to full page in a new tab is an option but it will require lots of rework, and also the UI will open slower, breaking the user's flow. I'll put it in the todo list but it's a lower priority item.
- There's an implicit privacy contract that the private window's data (including the tab urls) are not saved after closing. I feel strongly about it and private window data are not going to be saved. Sorry.
- Actually I don't know how to do it. I couldn't find any monitor-related information Firefox provides to extension.
Thanks for the feedback. - Rated 5 out of 5by jult, 6 bliain ó shinMust have plugin! By far the best one among Tab Managers! It uses FF builtin session manager making it much more reliable. I've tried all of them, this one deserves the highest rating, no competition. It auto-saves with a timed interval. It can almost replace OneTab since it shows you all opened Tabs and Windows as well, per saved session, plus you can name your saved sessions. Never run out of your long-winded research Windows by accident etc. Last but not least; The GUI is better designed than the others out there, making it perfect for even the beginner to get what it does.
