First let me set you up, I use tons of open tabs
with panorama along with multiple tabs handler I have over 1000 tabs sessions. This is not perfectly stable but that's not an issue with this module.

Session Manager is perfect. it allows to never lose a session again, which Firefox can't do by itself. Sure Firefox tries to restore your last failed session, however if you have a serious issue with firefox & restart it over & over you will lose your session.
With session manager you will never lose it anymore
HOWEVER
you MUST configure it to your needs :
- number of sessions to keep (50 for me)
- whether or not opening a session will override any existing windows & tabs or simply add to existing windows & tabs
- how often does it saves a session (30 minutes for me)
so at most if a session save fail & firefox crashes I lose up to 30 min of work.
- number of days to keep deleted sessions

and a lot more options !

So in the end this plugin is awesome however it's not install & ready in 10 seconds. Again I cannot say enough how important it is to tailor this module to your needs.
Also be aware of how much hard drive space multiple huge sessions saves can use.
