In addition to the obvious benefit of being able to restore your tabs from previous sessions, there is another wonderful use for Session Manager.

Sometimes I browse for a specific topic and find several pages of interest that I want to preserve. Rather than bookmarking them all into a folder, I can save the session or save the window using Session Manager. Then I can load that session without having to go through the bookmarks menu. If I make changes to which tabs are in the session (e.g., I delete one of the tabs that I previously preserved), I can save the updated session or window and override the old one. With bookmarks, I would need to manually delete the bookmarks.

If I'm done with the topic and don't need to remember those tabs anymore, I simply delete the session.

I have now saved at least a dozen specialized sessions with tabs concerning a specific topic. Those sessions contain up to 19 tabs, and together they contain over a hundred tabs. So glad I didn't have to bookmark all that and organize the bookmarks!
