I gave the full file path to the back up folder then restarted the browser and found nothing. Exporting your settings is the only one that works. The ability is to sync doesn't seem there either. "Sync auto save sessions" being checked by default doesn't seem to sync anything. "Enable Cloud Sync" is appended with "(Beta)". So there doesn't seem to be a way to reliably store your sessions to use them between devices using Firefox. Google Drive stores general files so I don't understand how Google Drive can be used to sync sessions between devices and browsers running the same extension. I use Firefox Nightly. There is also no way to simply add a tab to a session which may be on another window. You must copy and paste the URL to the window you want, then rewrite the session to group that tab with the ones you want. Overall, it is good, but unless if you are only using one browser on one device, the ability to backup, export, and sync really lowers the score for me.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Harry Btor, 5 days agoIn the case of tab groups, this add-on does not preserve original tabs grouping while importing a session: it imports all tabs uniformly, i.e. without any tab grouping. Dear developers, please, correct this fault. P.S. Yet pinned non-grouped tabs are imported correctly (as pinned).

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lebelon91, a month 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, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 3 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, 3 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, 3 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, 3 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, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Franz, 3 months agoDoes an excellent job saving tabs. I wish it would include saving tab-groups in Firefox as well.
