by tacth, 5 years agoHi, MySession seems more robust than Tab Session Manager (TSM uses indexDB; it's json got corrupted so I lost alll my sessions), but maybe you could consider implement this TSM good things:
-'save session on close' option [without using 'save each __minutes', *even when eg the PC unespectedly shuts down from energy failure*, amazingly it usually manages to recover the tabs.]
-it restores tabs according to the Firefox 'Container' each tabs is when saving the session, eg I can have a session with all/some 'Work' or 'Personal' Containers. [Maybe this can't be done in MySession since regular Bookmarks (only for now until new API?) can't save the 'Container' status?]
-it opens the session starting on the tab you were when saved [not necessarily on the 1st tab] eg while being in the last tab (eg 9 tabs, you were in tab #9, opening session starts in tab #9, not in #1).
-if you click to expand the list of tabs of a session, > click on any tab > only that tab opens in the window you are.
Thanks.
Edit: I guess I was wrong about the last point, so 1+star (only used the addon 1 time because from the proposals, at least I cannot forego the containers function.)
The reason for 3 is (using lazy Loading) eg I don't want always to load tab#1, but [in the example, it could be tabb5 or whatever] start in/only load tab9, then i after i close it, Tab8 loads, and so on, until i stop and close the window, without loading the 1st tabs. Without the function, before opening the session i would have to put FFx on 'work offline' before tab1 loads , then put FF 'onlne', then click tab9 etc. (or arrange the tabs in different order before saving the session.)
Thx.

But you are comparing warm with red.
You estimate not expansion and the functions realized in it. You lower the estimate for the fact that this extension does not look like another. It's like saying that Fiat is a bad car because there are no Ferrari functions in it.
Now about your suggestions:
1. The function of saving the session when closing the window I am testing now.
2. At the moment I do not see a way to use containers with bookmarks.
3. Using bookmarks this can not be done. That is, you can try, but I see no reason to spend my own resources and computer resources on it. In addition, it will certainly be a source of additional bugs. In my opinion it is easier to move the mouse and click on the #9 tab.
4. So it was intended. In the view mode, clicking on a tab will switch to this tab. In edit mode, a tab from another session is added to the current session. And how should be in your opinion?
