- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Dinu, 6 years agoMust-have extension for any organized person. PRODUCTIVITY++!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nicholas, 6 years agoBest session manager in a long long time. I love the friendly UI and the ease of using the add-on.
My only suggestions is, implementing the ability to export and import the saved sessions. For those who do not use the sync service.
But regardless if added to future builds or not, this is a very impressive looking add-on. Well doneDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoGlad that you like the addon and also, thank you for the great rating.
Regarding the ability to export and import saved sessions, theoretically it's possible and I might add it in the feature but because the WebExtensions is still limited and I can't truly import bookmarks with it may create lots of problems for anyone using Firefox Sync.
That being said, somehow you can still export all your bookmarks right now and those do contain the saved sessions but also all your other bookmarks. I'll see what I can do regarding this feature. I might find some solution after all, maybe by using the Bookmarks Import feature and not something through the addon API it might work. - Rated 3 out of 5by vader, 6 years agoGreat add-on.
Session Sync to sync & backup tabs on cloud service via bookmarks sync,
users can save a history copy to sessions and it will be put in bookmarks to complete remote sync.
Wish there could be an option to automatically save sessions not only in history,
that will be more useful for dynamic sync remotely in real time.
Now the only problem is to find an automatic bookmarks sync service......

The auto-save history hasn't worked for some days (or months), when I needed it restoring sessions for me in Aug, suffer this issue.
Somehow it still keeps the session I saved in March, so I can recover some tabs I need.
Firefox is 68.0.2, I don't know how long It hasn't worked anymore. History is completely empty.Developer response

Sorry for the issue with History. There was a bug in the previous version (that only happened in some specific conditions where everything in the history would be deleted) and somehow it seems that some users continue to have that. There's seems to be an strange incompatibility that somehow I can't replicate myself to find out the bug. I'm pretty sure that if you reinstall the addon everything will be working flawlessly again and probably you won't have any more problems. Everything you saved as bookmarks is safe so you can uninstall and install it without any issue (by doing that you only lost History but since it's already blank it is not a problem.)
I just noticed this update by chance because I observed that one 5 star rating disappeared. Sadly the review section is really stupid and nobody is ever notified of an update so please it you ever have other problem it's better to send me a mail through the feedback button. I guarantee you that there's a great chance to solve everything by discussing than just updating the review (of course you can do that as well but it doesn't really fix anything and that's not really helping anyone, bugs can remain in the app and you don't really fix the issue)
------------------------------
Thanks for the review. If I'm not wrong and you just changed the rating from 4 stars to 5 stars, I really appreciate that. It's really hard to try to meet everyone's expectation but I hope that in time by adding new features things will only get better.
I might be able to add a form of syncing for the auto-saved history sessions in the feature, but that only if the API is able to understand different devices (at this moment I can't figure out a solution for this) because otherwise one device will overwrite the others and that would clearly not be something desirable.
For bookmarks sync service - Firefox account is the best option. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 9935454, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Matt, 6 years agoThis is the best session manager I've used by far. The attention to detail shines through, it's completely unobtrusive and easy to use... with no lack of features.
In addition to this, the developer, Gabriel is very responsive and wasted no time in porting this to Firefox Quantum when users asked!Developer response
