Reviews for Session Sync
Session Sync by Gabriel Ivanica
Review by vader
Rated 3 out of 5
by vader, 7 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.

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.
