Review by Milan

In Mac, its a normal behavior that 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 great that restoring the session that was closed the last works great with this add on. However is it possible to restore the session automatically from the last closed or autosave (whichever is latest) state when firefox is started when there was no firefox tab-window left (browser window only, ignoring the download, histrory, bookmark window or even the firefox program running in the background as the case with mac). This will make closing and restarting firefox window in mac so smooth, you may make this feature optional in the setting.

FRQ:
1. Restore last closed state or or autosaved state which ever is latest, when firefox window opens when there is no existing firefox browser window. (this makes it more intuitive to close firefox in mac using the red button and restarting).
2. Retina compatible high resolution logo of the add on, and may be a change of color of logo.
3. Relative time in the session list, such as 15 minutes ago, 1hr ago in addition to the existing timestamp.

Keep up the great work,
Milan

    This is an excellent and convenient extension that I've used for years. It has saved me many times when I would have otherwise lost all my tabs. I love that I can create manual and automatic saved sessions and even back up to the cloud or export to a local file.

    If possible, I would really love the ability to backup up tab groups. I know that it is a really new feature and I don't know if extensions have the ability to do that, but it would be very helpful.

    I think that it would also be nice to have a feature to pin some sessions to the top of the list to make them easily accessible.

    This extension is almost but not exactly quite what I am looking for. I really really dig the idea but the way that sessions work essentially just makes this a more complicated history tab. I would like the option to update and overwrite an auto save instead of creating a whole new save. With autosave a new save is created that overwhelms manually created sessions. I would expect the behavior that each window is an independent save and duplicates are not created. Additionally with events such as window and browser closing, the save feature creates multiple identical and redundant sessions.

    Tab Session Manager has been working largely without problems for years.
    However, since April 6, automatic saving is no longer carried out, neither automatic saving, nor regularly saving the session, nor saving the session when the browser or window is closed.
    There are approx. 1800 open tabs

    On two different ff versions 91.9.1 and 115.20 it randomly deleted ALL sessions, on one ff i lost a sessionwith 2000 tabs and on the other 1800 tabs, backup is disabled by default, no other backups are kept and recovery is possible only if you have all your history from the past 6 months. evrything else is pretty good.

    used to work but recently after the notorious Firefox update it's now broken and author does not respond.

    After several months of using I can say: Absolutely Vital. When you don't want to close a window (just in case you possibly would miss the tabs), save the window instead. No more gazillions of windows, and no tab is lost.

    Very good. Just wish there was an option to remove duplicates.

    das beste Addon zu Sessionverwaltung in Firefox und Opera Web Browser!! Benutze es seit mehreren Jahren in Firefox und nun auch in Opera - absolut zuverlässig und unglaublich simpel zu bedienen.
