per Usator de Firefox 12041720, seitsemän vuotta sittenI think it's a great idea to save sessions in bookmarks. Thank you so much for creating and working on this extension. I do have one issue and one suggestion.
- The issue is probably a minor one, but when I right click on a website listed within a session, the drop-down menu that is displayed by your extension is covered up by my normal right-click drop-down menu, so I can't see or click on the options on the Session Sync right-click menu.
- My suggestion is that you allow the user to set the date and time format for automatically naming sessions. I would prefer to use a date and time in the format: YYYY-MM-DD, HH-MM-SS because of the way that firefox sorts bookmarks by name. That would not be an issue when accessing my sessions through the interface of your extension, because you give the option to sort sessions by date, but it would be useful when accessing or organizing sessions through firefox bookmarks, especially if I for some reason lost the ability to use your extension (for purposes of storing sessions long-term).
I also want to note that the system you have for numbering sessions when the user saves multiple windows and they are saved as separate sessions presents a similar problem, even within your interface. In other words, when I sort sessions by name within your interface, window #1 is followed by window #10, #11, etc., and window #19 is followed by window #2, which is followed by window #20... you get the idea.
Otherwise, I kind of like that separate windows are saved as separate sessions, because I tend to have a lot of windows open with a lot of tabs and opening them all at once overwhelms my RAM and disk usage also skyrockets now with Firefox Quantum.

publicate seitsemän vuotta sittenHi, and thanks for feedback.
- Regarding the right click issue... that's definitely really strange. It should not happen like that since I specifically wrote code to block the default right-click behavior. All I can think right know is that another addon might mix things up and and create this issue. If you have time try disabling all your other addons for 1 minute and see if the same it's happening (if it's an addon fault you should be able to spot it pretty easy)
- Configuring saving date format... That's really a good idea and I will have it done ASAP (I would say by the end of this week)
- Relating to the sorting issue... yes definitely makes sense. I will have to figure out a solution for this. From an alphabetical point of view seems that the sorting is correct but certainly not exactly what anyone would normally expect :)
Really great feedback. Thanks again.

- Classificate 5 de 5per jamesbond, 16 päivää sittenthis has been an extremely useful tab saver, compared to the other extensions, this one was the best experience for me, easy and efficient, the only issue, which is a big one, is it doesn't have a global search by title, which is frustrating, you kinda have to remember where you saved the tabs, it also doesn't allow multi-selection, i'd love the option of selecting a tab and pressing shift and select the other tabs and all the tabs in between get selected as well, right now you have to select them manually, and lastly no sort by doman or subdomain

- Classificate 2 de 5per Jim Aldon D'Souza, kaksi vuotta sittenI 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

- Classificate 5 de 5per Mostly Harmless, kaksi vuotta sittenAlthough 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.

- Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 14684093, kaksi vuotta sittenThis 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.

publicate kaksi vuotta sittenPlease do not use Session Sync for auto history saving. It's not something that it's guaranteed and it's even in the description of the addon on the first line with bold. It's just a feature that is most of good enough but not something that is perfect.
THIS ADDON IS NOT INTENDED FOR AUTO-SAVING OF SESSIONS!
As for saving sessions manually, those sessions are stored into bookmarks so it should be impossible to lose them unless the whole Firefox profile is broken in which case is not the addon fault. - Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 17989927, kaksi vuotta sittenI 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.
- Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 17422724, kaksi vuotta sittenExtremely useful addon. I have used this for at least 3 years.
- Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 17698144, kolme vuotta sittenGreat 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!

- Classificate 5 de 5per irwanwr, kolme vuotta sittenGreat add-on. I wish there are options to change the colour or theme of the interface. Something even basic, like; light, grey and dark.

- Classificate 4 de 5per PeaceByJesus.net, kolme vuotta sittenSorry: 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.Responsa de disveloppator
publicate kolme vuotta sittenWhat do you mean by no option to save sessions?
There's a red heart icon that has a tooltip with "Save Session".
Auto-save is not saving in bookmarks, only manual saving will do so because otherwise I would create thousands of almost useless bookmarks for users.
The addon should work as intended, but in case some other addon creates some weird incompatibility it might not, but that's something I can't fix or change. Though, there should clearly be no issues to save a certain session. - Classificate 5 de 5per asdasd asdasasd, kolme vuotta sittenExcellent!!! 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. - Classificate 2 de 5per dafFDasd, kolme vuotta sittenOK, 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.Responsa de disveloppator
publicate kolme vuotta sittenHi. I understand that you would expect something from an addon but the description states clearly that the addon is not intended for Auto-Saving of session. At the same time popup size is simply limited by Firefox, that's the maximum any developer can do, simply I can't make it bigger than that because that's and API limitation (nobody knows why just Firefox stupid decisions).
Regarding the full-page or new-tab -> those options are already available
Regarding search in tabs: yeah.. sorry that's a feature that would've been nice but was not able to implement it.
Auto-Save: There is some autosave implemented but not a full-featured like maybe other addons might have, but the whole purpose of the addon is to manually save what you need. - Classificate 5 de 5per Usator de Firefox 17455306, kolme vuotta sitten
- Classificate 5 de 5per SiteBuilderOne, kolme vuotta sittenExcellent 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!!! - Classificate 3 de 5per Rei, kolme vuotta sitten
