by Firefox user 13388006, 7 years agoThe main problem with this extension for me is that it messes the bookmark search. My search results are now littered with a large number of repetitive session bookmarks, and it has become more difficult to find out if I have already bookmarked a web page or not. Others have also presented the same criticism, and the developer of MySessions has replied this way:
- "In the description of the extension it is written that sessions are saved in bookmarks."
and:
- "I recommend that you read the description before installing the extensions."
My answer is that the description doesn't say "the extension messes your bookmark search". It's not something that a user can deduce from the description, as the users mostly aren't developers. Even a developer, at least if he isn't a Firefox developer, can't know that there isn't a way to exclude session bookmarks from the search (I assume there isn't because it hasn't been done). Because of that I think the problem should be clearly explained in the description of the add-on.
The other problems that I have experienced are different bugs that in varying degree take away from convenience of using MySessions.
Despite of the criticism above I think it's very good that MySessions is available, and I raise my hat to CromS for developing it. He seems to be active in making the extension better and is listening to users when deciding what to do next (the search problem probably isn't going to go away). MySessions does the basic session managing, and to my knowing without this add-on there wouldn't be a usable session manager for Firefox at all as the old Session Manager can't be used in new Firefox versions.
Anyway, I will probably stop using MySessions as soon as another add-on with a design that doesn't cause search problems becomes available. A well functioning bookmark search is very important to me.

posted 7 years agoTry using Tab Session Manager https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-session-manager/ or Session Boss https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/session-boss/. They do not use bookmarks.
I do not use bookmarks, I did not know, and I could not assume that you would have problems with the search. About this, except for you, no one wrote to me.
Write to me about other emerging issues. I have neither the time nor the opportunity to fully test the extension.
Write to me in any case. I have thoughts on how to improve the search for bookmarks.

- Rated 1 out of 5by SedUz, 3 months agoDoesn't work at all. This extension can't save any session. Also, GUI is buggy.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Balmung, a year agoSince over a week there came two updates asking for Crypto money on the update page in the webbrowser that opens after an update and also the Backup feature get disabled. I don't think that comes from the original author and I'm worried the addon was hacked and is now used for Crypto scam. Deinstalled it and can only suggest others to do the same.
- Rated 1 out of 5by GDM, 2 years agoLost my tabs and tried to load autosave made by this addon. It turned out that the data in this save was out of date by a year. For a whole year this addon made autosaves with the same data

- Rated 3 out of 5by dafFDasd, 3 years agoAllows closing currently opened tabs. But closing tab works badly. First click on the red X button switches to the tab instead. Second works fine. This is annoying, and causes unnecessary window switching.
Pop up window is used by default. There is a full page for tab management but it can't be set as default. Search works there using ctrl+f. - Rated 5 out of 5by Pjtak, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gharren, 3 years agoDecent sessions manager. Not the most intuitive UI, other than that, I like it a lot.

- Rated 5 out of 5by sams, 4 years agoSimple, efficient. After trying many of those over the years, this is the best session manager.
And yes, INSTANT revert to 2020.9.0 thanks to Mozilla.
Please CromS consider hosting somewhere else a version with autosave or an hidden option in the official version.Developer response

I did not understand this phrase. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13753333, 4 years agoI really love this plugin, but it causes a lot of problems with Firefox (I keep FF updated, use Mac). Causes FF to hang, take forever to start up. Problems disappear when I disable the plugin. If it weren't for those probs, I'd give it five stars.
- Rated 4 out of 5by vader, 4 years agoThe function of "Save ( sessions as bookmarks)" works incorrectly -- I need to disable / re-enable MySessions in the addons manager, when I need to save sessions as bookmarks every time. If I don't do that, it can't save sessions as bookmarks.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Joel, 4 years agoI love the idea, but it need a bit of work still. It would be cool to have the extension repository in the description to see if I can help in any way. Anyway awesome extension overall.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Legion, 4 years ago"The save location is limited to the folder under browser download folder"
This is completely useless for syncing between computers - I cannot save to OneDrive folder. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15754782, 4 years ago
