Reviews for Tab Session Manager
Tab Session Manager by sienori
Review by nzpete54
Rated 4 out of 5
by nzpete54, 7 years agoI had to find a replacement for the old Session Manager, which worked well until FF57, and then not at all.
I give kudos to the author of this add on for going to the trouble to provide an extension that substitutes for the legacy Session Manager in part. If it can duplicate more of the functionality of the older extension, it would rate FIVE stars for sure. But I thank the author and rate four stars at this time.
There are issues which I hope can be dealt with as this extension develops:
- I had a large 196 tab session saved, which Tab Session Manager shows OK, but when I try to open the session, only a portion of them do load. There seems to be a limit here. It would be nice if there was not.
- I note the latest version 1.5 has an option to Export the tabs (I presume as a list of links), but I haven't located this feature. This would enable me to sort through the 196 tabs mentioned in the previous point, so I hope I can find it - FOUND IT! Cool. Oh, but it only exports as a .json file which is not so useful. Update: but it is not to hard to manipulate the file with Notepad++ using "windowId": value to extract the tabs from a particular session.
- I echo the statement of "Anonymous user 8e0130" who asked "Is there anyway to have it not load non-active tabs?"

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12286457, a month agoJan-2025 This outfit used to have two extensions - a video downloader and this Tab Session Manager. The video downloader stopped working about a year ago and now the Tab Session Manager has stopped working too. For almost two years, I've allowed them to autodebit my Paypal - BUT NO MORE. When I wrote them about the video downloader not working I never got a response. Adios.

Addition after the original review.
I shut down Firefox and then restarted Firefox a little before midnight on Saturday 2025 / January / 04 , about 27 hours ago. On Sunday 2025 / January / 05 between 02:00 and 02:45, I looked at my computer's Download folder and noticed a folder that I had not seen before. I saw that the Tab Session Manager Auto Save folder had been created at 23:57 on Saturday, about the time I shut down and restarted Firefox. I then looked at the creation dates and times of the files in the three folders contained in the Auto Save folder. All files were created between 23:57 and 23:59 on Saturday.
The first file in the file list was named 2025-01-03 03-07-31 - FoxyTab Options #regular - [61{Redacted}-{Redacted}9-4{Redacted}-9{Redacted}-{Redacted}f].json, and it had a Created date and time of Saturday January 4, 2025, 23:58:13. Notice that the first part of the name is a date and time, specifically the date and time when Tab Session Manager created an auto save session. Notice also that the file's Created date and time is about 45 hours after Tab Session Manager created the auto save session contained in that file. Tab Session Manager should have saved the auto save session into a file and placed that file in the appropriate Auto Save folder at the same time that it auto saved the session.

- Rated 1 out of 5by V G, 2 months agoThe extension no longer stores any sessions. Its basic functionality is broken. The last update was almost 7 months ago. Has it been abandoned?
- Rated 1 out of 5by JustinM, 2 months agoHasn't been updated in almost 7 months and lots of outstanding bugs on their Github page. They just don't seem to care about this anymore. Look elsewhere.
