Thanks for telling me about that issue with dead tabs that can't be reloaded. If they are one of those types of URL sadly that's normal. (And you can't even press on the link to reload it from what I remember). If it was a normal web page.. then it might be an issue and I will investigate it. (Actually with Firefox 63 I will be able to use an internal API and not rely a special workaround I had to build for this.)
Sorry about that misunderstanding with 1-star rating. Probably my wording was not perfect but I never said you did that. I clearly saw you gave it 3 stars. I was actually talking about some "general" easy to disappoint users when the addon does not do what they want/expect without taking into consideration what addon description. I suppose it was not the right time/place to say that.
Yes, better support the other 2 features you requested will be surely implemented in futures updates.
Thanks again for the support.

Hi. Thanks for the detailed review.
1) Well, sadly the addon doesn't show that, but since it's a good idea I will add this feature in a future update.
2) Sorry but at this very moment that's all the search box can do. I don't have a full search feature. It is planned but not yet ready.
3) Please take into consideration that the addon is mostly intended for on-demand saving into bookmarks. The auto-saving history is mostly intended for keeping session for a short time (last 2 days, last 10 browser sessions, etc). Also, at this moment the saving does not work for closed windows (that meas if you have 3 windows each with 100 tabs and you close one, only the remaining windows will be saved (and overwrite the last save)). I'm working on a fix that keeps tracking for all the windows.
Things to consider:
- Take into consideration that saving 400 tabs as bookmarks might freeze the browser for a fraction of a second (probably depends on the PC configuration as well) but from test I know that saving around 1000 tabs took 1 second in my case.
- Ultimately, the addon might not suit you well at this moment because of the missing features that you may consider critical. The addon was initially built with a specific purpose in mind - manual session management while other auto-tracking features were added over time and of course it's still missing things.
Please be fair with the final rating when you plan to update it and also take into consideration what the addon can do and not only some specific requirements that might be missing (I totally get that missing some features can be deal-breaking for some users but I often fail to see why is that a good reason to give a 1 star rating :D). Of course, it's a free world, free speech, free addons :)
Thanks again.
