Easy to use and simple

I wish they would add firefox container support. I have tabs stored that are assigned to specific containers, which go haywire when restored in a new session because they get assigned to "no container" and go on a loop

Although not updated for some time, this add-on has consistently worked for me for over 5 years. It's been my go-to research tool when using Firefox. Bookmarks are OK but fall short when trying to do some concerted research but this session manager is fantastic. It's never failed me and syncs easily between devices using Mozilla Sync. Thanks to the dev for this gem and hopefully it stays updated as Firefox progresses.

This addon does what firefox sync should do. And it does even more. You can setup collections of links. Fortunately firefox sync does sync bookmarks reliably. But it fails in syncing tabs in a reliable way. Here session sync comes in as a convenient workaround.

Lost all saved history when I encounter a PC crash.

I use Session Sync since 3 years now and it worked super for me, fast, reliable and neat to use. After a recent computer breakdown, at the computer store they made a new operating system installation and a minor recovery of my data. Mr.Ivanica helped me providing precious information and all the support in order to get the extension back at work again with all my sessions 100% restored.

Extremely useful addon. I have used this for at least 3 years.

The best out there.

Great add-on! Pinned tabs are saved, but not restored as pinned in Firefox on Linux. It would be fantastic to be able to find duplicate tabs also! Cheers!

Great add-on. I wish there are options to change the colour or theme of the interface. Something even basic, like; light, grey and dark.

Sorry: I had stated that "there is no option to save a session" since I did not see one, or read that this was to be found via mouse hover over a heart icon (like "favorites"). I thought it would be in text, and maybe via right click. As a long time user of the legacy Session Manager I also assumed that this add on would auto save sessions depending on how often you wanted, and where you wanted. And restore local web pages as well.

However, the untitled heart icon does work to save that session as a bookmark, which is good though where the bookmark is saved is not an option.

And I also see via the tutorial (moz-extension://cf54e725-638a-4074-b4ae-b519e7d0f380/data/home/home.html) that Gabriel Ivanica has put a lot of work into this add on and that there are some options!

So thanks for this needed good add on, and it works for me even while using the Izheil Multi-row tabs patch.

Excellent!!! very few plugins are as useful as this one. I like to have many tabs open and this tool allows me to manage them in a spectacular way. Thank you very much!!!

I hope that in the future it will continue to be updated, even if they don't add more features, it should be incorporated by Firefox natively.

OK, so I have updated the review:

Lists currently open windows and tabs, clicking switches to clicked tab. But no tab delete nor search in tabs functionality. Max Pop up window size is too small. It needs to be a full page in new tab.

Does not auto save sessions.

UPDATE: The „Tab View” button opens a new page instead of a pop up. I'd rename it to something more intuitive (maybe view everything in new tab). It is possible to search the tabs there using Ctrl+g.

But despite the entry being highlighted after exiting from the search, the Enter key does not activate the tab.

Also Ctrl+Shift+V is a bad choice of hotkey. It is already universally reserved and used as „Paste without formatting”. I'd recommend opening in new tab view by default instead.




UPDATE 2: The hotkey can be changed. But the Settings popup closes every damn time I set something. It requires to reopen the stupid main pop up, then the settings pop up again and scroll down again to the last place.


Additionally the developer has not responded to the lack of close current tab/window functionality. This is the most important feature remaining.

Instead of practical functionality, this add-on includes wasteful animations without option to turn them off. They should be off by default or removed completely. It is an (annoying) anti-feature to waste time staring at unnecessary delays in workflow.

Excellent add-on, highly intuitive.
The ability to dock this in to native FireFox Sidebar would be awesome (Simple Tab Groups has this option). Currently using Tab View working great - thanks!!!

If you have hundreds of tabs autosave feature will use high IO/ disk writing, even while Firefox is IDLE. I mean no user activity, not a single website opened or active, no changes happening. On fresh profile it's negligle. My main profile its hitting up to 36mb every 10 seconds. Given that I leave Firefox running 24/7. This is an SSD killer. For the record I have thousands of bookmarks and hundreds of tabs opened but they are inactive and unloaded. I recently updated Firefox to 100 and have Firefox running in Sandboxie. A workaround for this is to disable the 'autosave' option or change it to a high value like 600seconds (10 minutes). The default setting is absurdly low 15 seconds. I personally uninstalled as I rarely used this addon.

Awesome and intuitive right out of the box.
