Tab Session Manager by sienori

by Firefox user 13572668, 8 years agoSo far I like TSM, it works for me without the problems others have been reporting. I am coming from the old Session-Manager and now I miss only a few but IMO important things at the moment.
First and for me most important would be the option to choose where to store your sessions. For example I go out to clients to show them some things on my laptop which I have I have previosly preselected in the office on my desktop. If I could save my sessions outside in the cloud I would have my presentation at a fingertip.
Also I would very much like to see a 'save window' feature, like there was in old Session Manager.
To use an anolgy, a session might be seen as a directory with the single windows as files. For effective filemanegement these extended features would IMO be needed.
As a minor perfomance thing I might mention that I miss the window oriented start of session-manager somewhat, it seems to be a lot slower to open each tab one after the other (at least on 7 windows with 250+ tabs that I've just imported as a test).
Anyway I look forward to the further development of this very much needed addon!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lebelon91, 4 days agoWorked great for a long time, but in the last month or so, the "autosave sessions" feature hasn't worked at all. I've checked my sessions to try to find windows/tabs I wanted to go back to, and the last thing saved was over a month ago even though I know I had Firefox at least set to restore previous windows. But this extension didn't save ANYTHING over the last month+ even though I had it set to do so, so that feature doesn't do anything anymore apparently. I've lost dozens of sessions due to either a bug or recent updates, but either way this is bullshit.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18929604, 24 days agoI can't figure out if sessions are tied to virtual desktops when they are saved and is it really important to me

- Rated 1 out of 5by Painexotic, a month agoGarbage. Stopped working months ago. Literally never saves tabs. Don't waste your time. It also randomly deletes your sessions. Don't be tricked by the good reviews btw. They're old reviews from years ago when it actually worked.

- Rated 2 out of 5by dankini, a month agoMisiing the main feature I was looking for - namely support for FF's tab groups. It seems the Chrome version has it. Please add functionality for FF.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Fridah, 2 months agoEven when the firefox history allows to open closed windows and tabs, there are occasions that can brick this feature.
This addon saved my life already once - and its a good reminder to clear my tabs everytime save enother session with 900 tabs :O - Rated 5 out of 5by walkingice, 2 months agoby using this add-on, I could safely close lots of tabs after working, and restore those tabs in next day. Love it!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19141042, 2 months agoVery good tool to save, manage and edit sessions for later use, much more clear oversight than all those tab grouping functions or add ons!
Pay attention: I recommend disabling the "auto save" feature in the settings, because otherwise your library will overflow and be incredibly difficult to manage. Save sessions manually, or when you close your browser! - Rated 2 out of 5by Nata K, 2 months agoIt has many features... but lacks the most important one: it saves open sessions as new ones, not updates them!!
Still cannot find a replacement for the old good Sync Tab Groups........ :'( This one is NOT. - Rated 5 out of 5by XjSv, 2 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Franz, 2 months agoDoes an excellent job saving tabs. I wish it would include saving tab-groups in Firefox as well.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Phone, 2 months agoВспомни моменты, когда браузер закрылся и после запуска нет 100 любимых вкладок и ты проспал запрос о восстановлении... Теперь такого не будет! Настрой сохранение при закрытии, 10 копий (или больше) и работай без страха.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19100586, 3 months agoWorked well for years. Sometime last year it broke, all my sessions disappeared from the list and it will only save the last session. I think I did something that fixed it, or it fixed itself and I was able to get all my stuff back (thought I am unable to recreate what I did).
But now it has happened again and this time it does not seem recoverable. The export option in the extension settings does not even work.
Not reliable, wish I could rate it higher but I am now screwed because of this. So much time will need to be wasted to get all my research and prep work back.
Find an alternative that doesn't break/wipe itself as much and has more reliable backup methods. - Rated 4 out of 5by Flamuz, 3 months ago
