I've been using SM for years on Firefox. I have used it with up to 125 tabs in 7 different groups without a hitch. The built in feature to keep multiple sessions is great, allowing me to transport sessions to multiple computers / share across multiple profiles. It really is a must have addon for anyone using Firefox.
Now just patiently waiting for an update to work with Fx Nightly 57.0a1

Doesn't work as intented, full of bugs with a lot of tabs. Many sessions cannot be loaded because the JSON files are corrupted.

I don't know what to say other than this add-on is indispensable! Since I automatically clear all browser data upon closing Firefox, Session Manager has saved me from so much wasted effort of having to reopen 30+ tabs after crashes. It even works with the Tab Groups extension!

Ever since a recent FireFox Developer Edition update, this addon and many others now say "Legacy" next to their names. I'm not sure if that's related to the issue I'm having, but now I can't use Tile Tabs when loading a Saved Session from "Session Manager". Everything gets screwy and Tile Tabs doesn't work correctly. Switching tiles as well sometimes lags and can't change unless "X"d out. Please fix this if you can. I'm reinstalling the Addon now in hopes it'll repair the issue. I tried doing that on TIle Tabs but no difference. I'm not sure if this addon is to blame for incompatibility or Tile Tabs, but please look into it. Otherwise, I love Session Manager! I'd hate to switch solely for this reason. Great add-on nevertheless!

Thank you very much!!!

This is a good addon that I've used for some time now. The one thing I miss is that there is no longer a list of closed windows listed by the toolbar button that stays active between sessions. If you close all of your Firefox windows and then reopen Firefox the closed windows list empty. I am l looking for another addon that has this functionality but no luck so far.

After less than a day, Firefox will slow to a crawl, repeatedly flashing "not responding" every second or so. Eventually, after minutes or hours, this addon will crash with a notification that it cannot write to its database. The only fix for this is to kill the Firefox process and start over. Then you're good for another few hours of activity before you do the same dance again. I'm going to try TabMix.

It is not just a plug-in. It is a personal assistant. It only lacks online session storage for synchronizing multiple devices, but this can be solved by using Dropbox or a similar service.

Best thing is, I can save entire windows with tons of tabs of researched information. Also, I can retrieve those for later use. Also, it autosaves most crashed sessions, and saves sessions regularly at time intervals I choose. Really useful
But, at one point, Firefox last summer completely erased all my old session manager stuff with a horrid update that removed, not disabled, but removed without my permission all of my . Now, in version 5.2, Session Manager is inaccessable, add-ons, & all the saved windows/tabs in Session Mgr. I had to re-install a new Session Mgr., and start from scratch, with all the old data lost. Now, the latest problem is Session Mgr isn't working in Firefox 5.2, it freezes the browser when I click on it & then nothing works, have to re-boot the browser. I disabled Session Mgr. now, today, and am waiting for this bug to be fixed. Hope this bug is fixed soon. Otherwise, it's the most useful add-on I use & have ever used. Great for college students, high school students, and any kind of professional or amateur researchers who need to do research in their profession, or for their hobbies & activities. I'd give it 5 stars, but this new version of Firefox has disabled plug-ins, Java, Adobe, and all my images don't load.Thanks Firefox, for your wonderful coding these days!

The extension works nicely, however in the latest versions of Firefox it has issues restoring the session. On startup:
1) Browser opens, a dialog with sessions is shown
2) I double click the previous session. Either of the following happens:
- Browser still opens with a default session (pinned tabs only)
- The restored session appears for half a second and then replaced with the default one (like above)
After that I have to manually click on the diskete icon, select the previous session and reopen it. It ruins user experience when reopening the browser
Also, there're localization problems - my system's language is English (ArchLinux+KDE) with russian locale for metrics system and numbers format. Everything appears in English except this plugin. I consider it a bug in the pugin

This is essential to "my firefox experience." But honestly, without this I would not be using firefox probably. The feature to save previous sessions (thus the name) is extremely useful for people who may have multiple shopping lists or projects going on. It helps organize your life. Each of my sessions typically has over 20 tabs. It's a safety/backup. If you like to have over 10 tabs open at once, I highly recommend this.

PLEASE, PLEASE...................... GIVE THE CODE TO SOMEONE AND LET THEM REVIVE "SESSION MANAGER".
Have you seen what is offered now? TERRIBLE APPS to save sessions/tabs.... ONE PAGE/SESSION ONLY. NO multiples of anything. And some say do not try to save more than a few tabs.
HOW I get around it is, go back to FF version 52, am currently trying to find your XPI for FF v52 and don't allow Mozilla to upgrade my browser (despite of the security risks.)
Mozilla is "willy nilly" obsoleting all the GOOD Add-ons like your tab counter (new ones DON'T work all the time) and the best: Session Manager. (here was hoping would reach you as could not find any other contact info).
My way around Mozilla to use SESSION MANAGER: Go back to FF v52 (despite security improvements). AM TRYING TO FIND the MSI, your version of Session Manager for FF v52 and avoid Mozilla upgrading my FF.
PLEASE FIX AND I WILL PAY TO USE IT.

This app is fantastic. Just don't do what I did and format your disk without backing up the Session Manager saved session files. I had thought the session details were saved externally via my Firefox account - this is not the case. Ended up losing over 200 tabs... lesson learned!
