- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13741123, 7 years agoI love it
I need to understand how to import previous sessions from same app because I had to create a new firefox profile and the new profile has nothing.
Please helpDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoIf you do not have an old profile or do not have an FF account, then I'm afraid you will not be able to recover. The fastest way to back up the current state (all saved sessions) is to export (back up) all the bookmarks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mirek, 7 years agoI only think, that tabs from "private browsing" shouldn't be saved (auto bookmarked) or at least there should be option to disable it for private windows.
Besides that, it's currently the best available session manager :-) - Rated 1 out of 5by RedPirate, 7 years agoAm I missing something? Because AFAICT you either have to manually press the 'Save the session' button or set auto-save to 5 minutes (not recommended).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Michael Woffenden, 7 years agoSeems to work pretty well. It might be one of the only session managers out there that actually works!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Noober, 7 years agoI hope this extension lets users choose which session to restore. I am instaLLing it because of the pop-up windows which get closed at the end of the session and then i cannot see any of the previously open tabs.
PS. Today I had 7 useful tabs in Firefox, and then I closed the main window. After that I found another window with some site which opened in the background. After closing that separate window, all my 7 useful tabs were wasted.
I would like to avoid losing tabs in this way in the future, and that is why I am installing your extension.
Also, I hope it has autosaving, because I will not save sessions. I just forget about it when I read all those 7 tabs. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13675908, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13663557, 7 years agoI'm looking for a replacement for 'session manager' in Firefox Quantum and I've downloaded this addon among others to test it. The main problem for me is the lack of search functionality. I have read the reviews and the developer's response to this problem is, basically, to laugh at the suggestion and say that nobody has asked for it. I have not bothered asking for it because I have discarded the addon. Each one uses the addons in a particular, sometimes unique way. I read with perplexity the response to a user about his suggestion of a search engine: the developer brags about having 300 tabs (or 1000) in a window and never having needed a search functionality. The interesting thing about working as a developer is that your code is thought for something and users end up using it for what they really need. The more users, the more different uses. I do not think it's a good idea to mock the suggestions of your users. Or brag about having 300 or 1000 tabs in a window.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13661957, 7 years agoDidn't saved all tabs and when it was called to do it's job it return duplicated disordered tabs. A f'd up mess. Awful!!!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dypsis, 7 years agoI have just started testing this addon. Thanks for that.
I don't have the Quick Save option in the address bar as pictured above.Developer response
posted 7 years agoMany complained about the presence of an extra icon in the address bar. I temporarily removed it. I'll return to FF58, there you can manage the icons in the address bar at the browser level. - Rated 4 out of 5by Ettore Atalan, 7 years agoIch konnte damit gespeicherte Sitzungen vom Addon "Session Manager", welches mit Firefox 57+ nicht mehr funktioniert, importieren.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13322797, 7 years agoWaste of time: Useless
- Layout is ass backward. How many of you are clicking on the Session Name link opening the entire session thinking some other action would happen? Great, now instead of the 10 tabs I already have open, I now have 30.
- No Search functionality. Tried requesting this but developer wonders why anyone would want to search for a specific tab instead of going through each tab in what might be 50+ saved sessions to find it..lol. That in a nutshell says it all.
- Just realized that upon FF update, this app defaults back to the original 10 Saved Sessions. Where are my other 70 sessions? Ridiculous!
Bottom line: Passable but obviously a lot of issues. And with Developers attitude and ego as evidenced in remarks, good luck getting acknowledgement of issues and all important solutions.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou are the only one who asked me about the search function and could not clearly explain why it was for you.
I have 300 tabs in two windows, and I do not need a search function. My additional users have 1000 tabs, and none of them asked for a search function. You have 10 tabs, and you need a search function. It's not funny.
Sessions are stored in browser tabs. If you need a search, use the search in the bookmark manager.
I do not know where your 70 sessions are, they are stored in bookmarks. You are still the first and only one who complains about the loss of sessions. - Rated 5 out of 5by Robert Ab, 7 years agoTo get better, MySessions, Tab Session Manager, Session Manager, Tab Mix Plus and other session managers needs some APIs to be prepared:

CromS: can you provide me with the list of APIs you need for MySessions and which are not mentioned on this page? - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13619481, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13611465, 7 years agoMySessions works properly on my FF 57 and I find it particularly useful that I could import old sessions.
But the fact that sessions are stored in the form of regular bookmarks inside the normal bookmaks file makes the addon conflict with normal usage of bookmarks and bookmark tools. I search or filter my bookmarks and the contents of this addon's folders are displayed as well.
Just now I encountered this with bookmarks-manager (https://add0n.com/bookmarks-manager.html) which displays whether the currently active tab has already been bookmarked. As soon as MySessions has made a backup seemingly it has - but not intentionally by the user.
Could this addon write it's data to a separate file?Developer response
posted 7 years agoAccess to the file system is prohibited, because of this, recording of sessions into separate files is impossible. But you can export sessions manually. - Rated 3 out of 5by onesolo2, 7 years agoOk, finally I can restore previous sessions, but there is still one problem, when I restore a session, it reloads all my tabs!!! I have sessions with a lot of tabs, more than 400 tabs!!! If I restore a session with that many tabs it will eventually crash Firefox with huge load on memory!!!
Can you please have an option to restore tabs but unloaded or like the previous restore state for each tab?!Developer response
posted 7 years agoWe all want that when the session is restored, all the tabs are not loaded. Let's all be in a friendly voice so that they can give us this opportunity https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1378647 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12836761, 7 years agoFirst Impressions: Best replacement for legacy Session Manager I've found. The beauty of MySessions is that it can import old Session Manager sessions files you have saved elsewhere. Also it's the only replacement I've found that respects whether tabs were pinned or not and replaces them accordingly. Very well done and greetings from Scotland!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13576257, 7 years agoSaves tabs as bookmarks within sessions - so impossible to tell if i have a real bookmark
- Rated 5 out of 5by css0101, 7 years agoИз всех доступных для квантума менеджеров сессий, этот лучший. Ставлю заочно 5 звёзд. Желаю успешного развития! Спасибо за мегаполезное расширение. Без сессий вообще никак. Очень надеюсь, что в ближайшем будущем решится проблема с загрузкой всех вкладок, вернее, чтоб они не грузились сразу. Load on Select, скорее, мешает, чем помогает.
